In the habit of sleeping with wet hair? Here's a few reasons why you should reconsider.
1. When your hair is wet, it's at its weakest and most fragile state. Thus it is the most susceptible to breakage. When you sleep, the friction of your hair on your pillow as you toss back and forth can cause already frail hair to snap and break off.
2. Chances are you'll wake up with unruly and knotted hair which will require more work with hot tools to fix and straighten it out in the morning.
3. Most styling products are heat-activated, which means if you're spritzing on a thickening spray or root lifter while your hair is wet and then going to bed, you're basically just adding dead weight to your strands. (Not to mention wasting your hair products.)
On the off chance that you end up with a wed head before bed, there are a few things you can do to lessen the after-effects. First, try sleeping on a silk pillowcase which will allow hair to glide easily across it without any tugging or pulling. Apply product at the roots and then hit it with a hair dryer for a few minutes to activate it. Lastly, put hair in a loose braid or bun as to prevent tangles.
THE NEW KNOT
At Isabel Marant, hair was tied and pinned down to create a flower-like knotted bun. |
At Vera Wang, hair was teased before being pulled and tied, which created a bird's-nesty knot. |
THE UN-DONE BUN
At Victoria Beckham, a new twist on the bun was debuted - one that left the tail sticking out to the side. |
A nearly identical look was seen at Veronique Leroy. |
At Diane von Furstenberg, buns were secured loosely, allowing the ends of the hair to stick out. |
THE ECCLECTIC BUN
Leave it to Marc Jacobs to take a completely ordinary hairstyle and flip it upside down...literally. His models sported upside down top knots, secured right in the middle of their foreheads. |
At Marissa Webb, hair was gathered loosely at the nape and then coiled tightly into a low bun. |
GET IT TWISTED
Erin Fetherston kept her runway ponytail fresh by sectioning out two small side-ponytails, securing them in back and then twisting them together to create one low tail. |
At Hermes, a new french twist was created by twisting the hair to the side and weaving the ends out, then securing with bobby pins. |
At Herve Leger, hair was parted and then twisted back almost into a topsy-tail (remember those?). |
The first ever New York Fashion Week: Men's just wrapped on July 16th. And in case you missed it (which, let's be honest...probably most men did), here's an in-depth look at some of the best hairstyles seen on the runway and how you can easily re-create them.
THOM BROWNEWe'll start with Thom Browne. Lead Bumble and bumble stylist, Jimmy Paul, crafted a look that he calls "something super-classic—an American look, you could say, from ’50s, Saturday Evening Post," as the perfect compliment to Browne's "The Officeman" collection. "[He’s] a very iconic American man," Paul reiterates. To create the look, he started by misting the hair with Bb. Prep and then applied Bb. Gel. After combing strands to the side, he finished by spraying Bb. Classic Hairspray.
ROCHAMBEAU Next is the Rochambeau Presentation. Bumble and bumble stylist, Colin McCarthy, created a look to compliment the collection which he describes as, "really clean, so we're being as particular as we can about the details for the hair. We wanted to mirror the metallics in the clothes and create a sheen so the hair has a really glossy finish."
To craft this "schoolboy look, " McCarthy made a super clean and straight deep side part. He then prepped the hair with Bb. Thickening Hairspray before blow drying the product in for structure. To create a gloss that also had staying power, he mixed two parts Bb. Sumotech with one part Bb. Semisumo and applied the mixture all throughout the hair. Finally, he used a styling brush to again make sure the part was super clean and finished with a mist of Bb. Classic hairspray.
JOHN VARVATOS
Lastly is the hairstyle seen on the runway at John Varvatos. Bb. Stylist, Yannick d'Is, describes the look by saying, "It's more of a glam rock, obviously inspired by Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones kind of hair." He goes on to say, "the collections have always been very rock-inspired—now they want it to be a little bit more luxe, so they didn’t want grungy, dirty hair. It’s an ‘expensive rock." To get this un-done, done look, Yannick started by shampooing the models' hair and then applied Bb. Prep before blow-drying and using a curling iron to add texture and movement. He then worked Bb. Thickening Full Form Mousse through the ends to add volume. He finished by adding in slight touches of Bb. Cityswept Finish and Bb. Semisumo to "dress it up."
