thakoon hair

like any good fashion/beauty junkie, last week i was glued to coverage on NYFW's spring 2013 presentations. now, i rarely style my scraggly tresses beside the daily "flip-n-go" (i.e. tousle the ends with Bumble and bumble's brilliantine, flip and run out the door) - but thakoon's spring 2013 crimped-do inspired me to give my hair some extra TLC today. so here's my layman's version of their runway style...

what you'll need: flexible hold hairspray. i swear by TIGI's masterpiece hairspray . bobby pins. 3 barrel waver or a mini flatiron.

steps: crimp hair from the ears down (or create a wave with your flatiron - get my video tutorial here). spray crown section with hairspray and push backwards - think "wind blown" during this step. gently smooth the crown section from your forehead to the back of the head. secure hair with two bobby pins in the middle back section. pull hair from either side and haphazardly insert pins to hold. now, be sure to double check in the mirror to make sure your pins are laying horizontally. fill in any obvious gaps with additional bobby pins. 

lightly comb the crown section to smooth out any unwanted bumps. hairspray to set style and tousle the bottom if you prefer my "undone/hipster-chic" look!
