subject: The Latest Spring Hairstyle- Side Braid [print this page] Most often than not, models walk the catwalks with hairstyles you wouldn't wear in real life, but this year Alexander Wang's fashions has shown us something that will make that leap.
Known as the most influential hair-stylist in the world for his work with celebrities and designers, Guido has created a work of art that isn't hard to pull off for anyone with a little braiding experience and enough hair.
Guido called the look stylish, but at the same time a bit undone and the perfect mix of sporty and sexy.
Most fashion show hairstyles are too sleek and overdone, this style isn't and fashion writers have noticed. Some say the look is messy and dirty. It could be done after swimming, staying out all night, or even not shampooing for several days.
Hair that isn't fresh or blown out is a good way to start. Part your hair to one side, pull the front layers forward and tease them, pull longer hair to one side and braid it loosely right after combing your hair back.
Spread mousse through your hair and then blow drying it while tossing it around with your hands for a rough texture after washing your hair, if you want to work at it morel. Sea-salt spray is recommended by other stylist, then part your hair to one side and blow dry with a round brush in sections while sweeping the hair to one side and concentrating on root lift.
After your hair has dried, start braiding at the nape. Allow any shorter layers around your face to hang loose. There is the traditional, three-strand plait and French braid only if you have layers in the back you can use. You would want to braid two inches from the ends of your hair, low on the side. If you want the bohemian touch keep the braid loose.
Consider hair extensions if you don't have enough hair for this type of style, the longer the better.
Secure the braid with a snag free elastic and drape it over your shoulder opposite the part. Even though the look is designed to look undone, stylists recommend finishing with a fine mist of hairspray.
Why don't you try it? Wear it at home. It should work well with the latest spring clothes such as sweats or denims. Or if you don't think you can manage it, ask your stylist to do the work. If it pulls loose, don't worry, this is the style that you can live with and a look that works for spring and summer.
