Casual Summer Upstyles I

Care-free & Go-with-the-flow
According to the Hairdresser's Journal (UK), "This season's hair should be left a little undone, for a fun, non-fussy finish.... looped quiffs.. left to flop over one eye in a rough bow shape - it's young, it's cool, and it can be customised to make it your own."

Valerie Benavides from Brooks & Brooks, London, explains: "[It's] all about having loose, soft texture... you could see lots of soft, baby hair... It's cool because it's playful with an unkempt, seductive finish." 

"Forget about immaculate updos - incorporate the texture trend, for a relaxed, youthful feel," says Valerie.

  1. How much hair do you need for the "Soft, Delicate, Bridal braiding" ?

  2. It does look like a lot of hair. Her hair is quite long and doesn't have layers. That's the key to keeping the fullness at the bottom and keeping the braid / plait clean of the frizzies

  3. Not sure the knot on top of the head thing's for me, but might give the loose braid a go :-) R

  4. Yeah, these are lovely. However I think that one needs to be fairly pretty or ethereal looking to pull it off otherwise you will just look like a hippie!
