The Rock & Roll Princess
Inspiration: Natalie Dormer's High pompadour styled up-do with a feminine, rock & roll vibe and a back bun.
Step One: Apply a volumizer from roots to ends of wet hair. We like: Macadamia Professional Foaming Volumizer Step Two: Blow dry large sections with a large round brush to create ample volume all over. Step Three: Rub a quarter sized amount of texturizing cream in palms and apply throughout hair to create texture and separation. We like: Macadamia Professional Whipped Detailing Cream Step Four: Tease the roots at the crown to build volume. Step Five: Twist the hair back in small to medium sections and secure with straight pins, leaving wispy pieces loose. Step Six: Emulsify more detailing cream in palms and use fingers to gently scrunch the hair for piecy texture. Twist remaining hair into a back bun in the center of the head and secure with pins for an effortless finish. Leave small pieces out on the side for a windswept look. Step Seven: Spray hairspray to secure the hair. We like: Macadamia Professional Flex Hold Shaping Spray |

The Audrey Hepburn
Inspiration: The French twist is a hairstyle classic, most of us associate this timeless look with Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
Step One: If you don’t have a full head of thick hair- apply volumizing powder and slightly tease your hair, giving added height and texture. We like: Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Biotin+ Volume & Texture Magic Volume Powder Step Two: Dependent on your style and preference, part or don’t part your hair before gathering it loosely in the back of your head. Step Three: For the classic banana updo you should gather your hair to a ponytail in the neck. Use hair wax or a light pomade to avoid fly-away hair. We like: Schwarzkopf stylist ULTIME Crystal Shine & Hold Transparent Polishing Pomade Step Four: Tightly twist the ponytail before pulling your hair up toward the top of your head. Keep on turning the ponytail around until it takes the shape of the typical banana. While you twist and pull the ponytail upward, use hidden bobby pins to secure the banana updo as it forms in the back of your head. Step Five: You can twist the end of the ponytail into a decorative spiral shape or hide the ends inside the banana. Secure the ends of your hair using bobby pins. Step Six: Secure the finished look with hairspray. We like: Schwarzkopf stylist ULTIME Crystal Shine & Hold Laminating Shine Hair Spray |
