Jenny Balding, Cutler/Redken Styling and Grooming Expert, shares her favorite ‘do’s to compliment your readers’ Fall wardrobe!
- Tuck your hair into the collar of your coat or scarf for that nonchalant, “I-didn’t-even-try-to-look-chic-but-I-do” look.
- Try a loose side braid to wear with hats and caps, leaving some soft pieces popping out of either side, framing your face. This look is cool—literally.
- Give your hair some extra oomph by lightly dusting Redken powder grip 03 onto the roots, then sweep hair into a twisted, disheveled up-do, and let those flyaway strands fly!
And Jenny’s tip for haircare this Fall:
- “Leaves are changing colors, the air is getting cooler, and your hair is not cooperating. How can you beat unruly hair during the wintry months?
- Make sure to always use conditioner to help with frizzy, static hair. If your hair is thicker, use conditioner all over to nourish deep down to the roots.
- Dull hair? No problem: A gloss spray like Redken shine flash 02 amps up dry, lifeless locks in an instant.
- Hair is limp after wearing a hat on a blistering day, so carry a travel size dry shampoo to boost roots midday or before a night out. Throw your hair upside down and mist the dry shampoo at the roots, shake, and there you have it—instant, all over lift!
