The Third Day Updo

THE THIRD DAY UPDO

Pretty Bird Updo

Did you know as stylists we are always keeping our eye on runway trends? We make wearable styles from what we see and are inspired by on the runway and high fashion! During New York Fashion Week, Bumble and bumble Editorial Stylist Jimmy Paul created this “bird’s nest” style for Thom Browne’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Using Bb. Thickening Hairspray and Bb. Surf Spray together creates a raw texture, something that’s left unfinished and rough. These products leave the hair very easy to work with and mold. This style can begin on wet or dry hair, we recommend dry and dirty hair for better texture and hold.
1. On damp or dry hair spray Bb. Thickening Hairspray and Bb. Surf Spray to give hair texture.
2. Rough blow-dry (blow dry hair roughly with your hands).
3. Tease (backcomb) hair in sections to create volume.
4. Leaving the top section out, French twist the bottom section of the hair up toward the crown. Pin as you go.
4. Tease the top section as big as possible. Secure with pins.
5. Finish with Bb. Does It All Hairspray for hold. Pin It

Cannes Film Festival 2013

Every year, the fashion stakes get higher at the annual Cannes Film Festival in the south of France. After all, it’s where some of the world’s biggest movie stars and tastemakers flock to attend movie screenings and soirees, all the while dressed in incredibly glamorous ensembles and amazing hair to boot!

 Alessandra Ambrosio kept things sleek and simple with a center part and straight locks to compliment her dress.

 We love Olivia Palermo's loosely pulled back updo.

You know we are suckers for over the shoulder, retro waves like Cara Delevingne's!

Whether you like it or not, ombre hair is still alive and well! Sara Forestier's is subtle and perfect for summer.

 We swoon over Naomi Watts short, retro waves!

The retro theme continues with Marion Cotillard's voluminous, french twist.

And nothing says summer like Isla Fisher's relaxed, beachy waves!

My Little Pony

With prom and wedding season upon us every bride and high school teen are all asking for some updo inspiration. Take a cue from Kate Beckinsale and her youthful pony.

As always, updos work best on dirty hair (it will hold better) but this can also be done on clean hair.

It's a huge trend in special occasion hair right now to use your natural texture, and this upsweep on Jennifer Lawrence does just that! We can also see ourselves turning this into a summer hair staple. This style is going to be easiest if you already have a natural wave in your hair, but don't worry you can always fake it too!

1. On damp hair spray Bb. Prep all over hair, smooth Bb. Hairdressers Oil through your ends and spritz some Bb. Surf Spray throughout your hair for added texture.
2. Dry hair with a diffuser (or let air dry) to encourage natural texture. If you don't have natural waves create curls with a curling iron.
3. Once hair is dry, loosely gather your hair at the nape of your neck and secure with a hairband. Twist into a loose messy bun.
4. Pull at hair to loosen and allow random pieces of hair around the hairline to fall free to create softness.

Amy Adams Chignon Tutorial

We saw a lot retro 50's chignons and french twists on the red carpet, one of our favorites was Amy Adams. She wore it beautifully with a touch of 1950's glamour but it still looked modern and classic. The great thing about this style is it doesn't need to be too stiff or perfect, which means it's going to work best on dirty/second-day hair. 

1. On second-day hair spray Bb. Hair Powder through hair to soak up oils, give the hair grip and a matte texture.
2. Backcomb your hair at the roots, especially at the crown. Spray with Spray de Mode Hairspray.
3. Part hair in the middle (or wherever you prefer) and smooth the crown back.
4. Smooth the hair back to the nape and secure with a ponytail. Backcomb the ponytail and spritz with more Spray de Mode Hairspray. 
5. Roll the hair into a messy chignon (letting some of the backcombing show) and pin in place with bobbies. Tuck the tail under and secure with more bobbies. 
6. Pull a few pieces out around the face and finish with Spray de Mode Hairspray.
