Hair Trends: 2013



This year the hair trends are all about texture and braiding. Two things that are easily done with just a little bit of practice. Try some of these styles out for change from the daily hair routine!

1. Braided updo: Texture and hanging pieces around the face are key parts of this style
2. Voluminous straight hair: Back comb hair on each side of the part for extra volume
3. Rounded bangs: blow-dry with a round brush for the perfect fringe
4. Hairline braid: Braided and tucked behind the ear. Topped off with waves for a boho look
5. Hidden braid: An unexpected detail to a straight hairstyle 
6. Messy bun + headband: Textured hair and a headband set 2 inches from hairline give this look a messy yet put together edge.
7. Braided Chignon: Inside our french braid tucked inside a textured chignon is perfect for a special night out

Fall Hair

Courtesy of the fabulous folks over at Allure, here are 10 Fall hairstyle ideas taken from the hottest runways that are easy, and fun to try this fall season! 
The Loose braid: As seen on Lanvin and Pucci Runways. Use a texturizing cream before roughly blowing dry and begin the braid at the nape of the neck, leaving the front pieces loose. 

The Low Pony: Ralph Lauren, Prada, Balmain. Spray a light hold hairspray onto straightened hair. Pull hair back to the nape of the neck, and spritz with a glossing spray for added shine. 

 Glam Waves: Oscar De La Renta, Marc by Marc Jacobs. After blow drying your hair, sleek and straight, tuck the two front pieces behind the ear, securing with bobby pins. Then Using a curling iron, curl the ends of the hair from the nape of the neck down. Spray all over with hairspray.

The loose bun: Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana.  This is one of our favorites! For the look above create a low side part, and mist with hairspray. Pull hair into a low side pony below the ear, and tease. Then braid the last two inches of the ponytail and tie with a hairband. Then roll the entire thing into a ball and secure loosely using bobby pins.

Half Up: Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, Giambattista Valli. Apply a blow dry serum to the bottom half of your hair, and a volumizing mousse to the crown before blow drying. Curl your entire head, part down the center and tease at the roots. Pull one inch sections back from above the ear and secure loosely. 

Rumpled Texture: Marni, Balmain, Chloe. The simplest hairstyle of the season, and easily compared to Kate Moss' signature look, this is one for the days when there is limited hairstyling time. Spritz the crown of your head with water, and mess the top with your hands. Create a center part and pull back at the name of the neck.

Hair Accessories: Chanel, Valentino, Rodarte, Prada, Nina Ricci. Add a bit of flair with embellished headbands, scarves, simple plain headbands, or even barrettes.

Pop of Color: Parabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Haider Ackerman. If you aren't ready to make the leap into officially dying your own locks, you can opt for brightly colored extentions, like the ones seen here on the Parabal Gurung runway.

Intentional Frizz: Gucci. Dig out that crimper! (We know you still have one) After sleeking back the top portion of the hair, and securing in a tight , low pony; crimp the ponytail and backcomb.

Deep Side Part: Blow dry hair to a sleek finish, and part deeply on the side, bringing the hair over the forehead and one eyebrow. You can gather loosely at the nape of the neck into a pony tial, or a loose bun.

A Few Things

A few of the things we are into on this fine second day of September. Bring on the Fall!


Lana Del Rey, Video Games. We spotted this on a friend's Facebook page. The old pictures, the video... her voice. Perfection.




Proper Cloth custom designed dress shirts for the fellas

And last but not least, tosseling our locks when we haven't really been in the ocean- with Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. It's addicting.

A Few Things...

Since sharing is caring, here are a few things we are really into at the moment! Enjoy!

Obviously Adele is spectacular, but this version of Someone Like You is just further proof of her greatness. 

Refinery29's Month of Hair feature. A new girl, a new look, and new hair ideas everyday in August. Genius!

Hottie Rihanna in House of Lavande jewels. We seriously can't get enough of her!

And last but certainly not least is the new feature from Hipstamatic called Family Album. You can share pictures, create albums, like other folk's pictures and gather loads of great inspiration through the wonderful world of hipstamatic!
