InStyle Australia – September 2019

Rake a handful of

volumising mousse

through damp hair,

then blow-dry with

a large boar-bristle

brush. To get that

va-va-voom boost

at the roots, “as you

blow-dry, pull the

hair forwards and

over your face,” says

hairstylist Koh, who

styled Valance’s hair

for our shoot. Once

dry, apply texturising

powder to the roots

and muss in with

your fingertips.

FULL

VOLUME

For hair with a

fringe or stubborn

flyaways, smooth a

drop of light-hold gel

through the roots.

Use an oval, cushion

brush to pull hair into

a high ponytail and

secure with an

elastic. Instead of

pulling hair through

to the ends, create a

loop, leaving about

a third of your length

free. Wrap the

elastic around the

loop again to secure.

LOOPED

TOPKNOT

This style is best

suited for gritty,

second-day hair.

If your strands are

on the oily side,

spritz first with

dry shampoo. Spray

hair all over with a

texturising mist and

scrunch in with your

hands. Wrap random

sections of hair

around the barrel

of a curling wand,

finishing an inch or

two from the ends to

elongate the wave.

When cool, comb

fingers through to

loosen the bends.

RETRO

SHAG

Texture and body will

help to disguise

imperfections when

attempting a tricky

updo. Tease the front

section of hair with a

comb and set with

hairspray. To do a

French twist, gather

lengths into a

ponytail at the nape

of your neck. Grab

the base of the

ponytail and twist in

a clockwise motion,

directing the hair

upwards. Tuck ends

into the tunnel

created by the twist

and secure with pins.

Finish the look with

on-trend clips.

UNDONE

UPDO

Begin with freshly

washed and dried

hair. Apply a

heat-protecting

serum to midlengths,

then, using a hot

curling tool, curl

small segments

away from your face.

Once the hair is

curled and cooled,

run a paddle brush

through to

deconstruct the

curls, then flip hair

over to one side.

Spritz midlengths

with a texturising

spray for an

effortless and

undone result.

TOUSLED

TEXTURE

The trick is to create

a wet-look texture

without soaking

your mane. Dampen

hair with a spritz of

water. Squeeze a

light-hold styling

paste into your

palms and, starting

with your hands at

the front of your

head, drag hair back

and away from your

face. Use a comb to

smooth, then secure

into a low ponytail.

Pin down short

strands that

come loose.
