2010 Fall Hair Trends By Neil Moody
Clothes aren't the only things that change with the seasons, hairstyles do too. JOYCE BEAUTY with the assistance from the hair genius, Neil Moodie, head stylist for Bumble and Bumble and hair stylist to the stars (Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johannson are clients), brings us a Hair Lookbook for Fall Winter 2010 showing us how to achieve the latest looks using products from Bumble and Bumble, EVO, Fekkai, Leonor Greyl, Philip B and WAM!
The first look Neil features is the Hair Up Style. Hair is cleanly tied up and kept, creating a polished look. Ponytails and chignons are accessorized with braids, ropes and twists to create an interesting dimension while still keeping the whole look immaculate.
Use: Bumble and Bumble Prep spay and Styling cream
The Natural Sultry look focuses on the hair's natural qualities and how to highlight them. This is by far the simplest look to achieve as hair is simply parted at the center, dampened a little and then straightened at random sections. The result is a hairstyle that is seductive, yet, still natural and easy!
Use: WAM Ionic Hairdryer and Diffuser to dry hair
Lastly, Neil takes inspiration from the' 90s with the Grunge Modern hairstyle. Using Courtney Love as inspiration, hair is again parted at the center and then enhanced with extensions. Products are then applied from the roots to create a sexy and natural texture.
Use: Bumble and Bumble Prep Spray and Thickening Hairspray
