Patio season is finally here! And with it, the requisite flirting. Make an impression with these four runway-inspired looks. Elle Canada spoke with the experts to show you how to get them:
Summer is all about casual cool, and nothing says “beach babe” like a head full of natural-looking windswept waves.
Nicknamed “the King of Curl” by Vogue, celebrity hairstylist David Babaii has made his mark creating waves for Liv Tyler, Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker. To get this classic Ralph Lauren look, he recommends conditioning hair thoroughly and following that with a cool water rinse to seal the cuticle and for extra shine. Next, towel-dry your hair gently to remove excess water, and apply David Babaii for WildAid Amplifying Whipped Mousse for hold and lift.
Taking small sections starting at the nape, use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer (dries 50 percent faster, saving on electricity, and restores shine, suppleness and moisture with its Ceramic and Tourmaline technology) with nozzle attachment and a large round brush to smooth hair straight. When you’re finished drying the entire head, take a large section of hair and wrap it around a medium-size round brush. With the nozzle, blow hot air for about 10 seconds, then hit the cool button for a blast of cool air. Carefully release the section from the brush and continue until you have completed the whole head. If extra definition is needed, wrap a few large sections around a large-barrel curling iron leaving the ends free. Finish with a spritz of Mise en Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray to keep those lovely curls the whole day — and night — through.
