Beauty a hair s ecial

POLISHED WAVES
Part ways with summer’s beachy waves in favor of a more
sleek, structured style, as seen on actress Amanda Seyfried.
HOW TO Start by blow-drying damp hair with a large round
brush, Cho says, winding pieces around it as you go. Once
hair is dry, mist hairspray along 1-in. sections, then curl each
using a 11⁄4-in. curling iron from ear level down. Last, rub
a dime-size dollop of smoothing cream through strands
to polish and loosen the curls.

WISPY BUN
The perfect go-anywhere updo
is less prim and more carefree
thanks to a looser construction
and purposely stray strands.
HOW TO Run a few pumps of a lightweight hair serum between
hands then through dry hair, Cho says. Blow-dry using the diffuser
attachment on your hairdryer, scrunching with fingers to add
texture. Brush hair straight back, securing it into a mid-height
ponytail with a thin elastic. Glide another dab of serum over the
ponytail and wrap it loosely around its base, leaving the ends
out. Slide in bobby pins to keep in place, then free a few strands
at the hairline and nape to finish.4.
FLUFFY CURLS
Naturally curly textures ran wild
and free on fall runways, showing off their shape.
HOW TO Define coils by twisting a curl-shaping cream through
damp hair, then drying it using your hairdryer’s diffuser attach-
ment. “Flip hair from side to side as you’re drying to boost
volume or over to lift the roots,” Cho advises. When hair is dry,
gently brush 2-in. sections, starting at the nape of the neck and
moving from ends to roots for a “cotton candy–like airiness,” Cho
says. Mist with a volumizing spray to enhance bounce. (Turn the
