The runways at New York Fashion Week were chock full of 1970s-inspired looks . To complement the sequin gowns, chunky tweed jackets and graphic accessories, hairstylists recreated seventies ‘dos with modern finishes (i.e. softer side parts and double-twisted top knots) and products that provided enough hold without weighing hair down.
The good news for us is that the hair looks in particular are fairly easy to replicate on your own. Here’s how to copy them.
Loose And Flowing Locks At Karen Walker
Get the look: Blow dry Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray into hair and mist Thickening Dryspun Finish onto locks to bring out natural texture. (Tip: For women with thick hair, blow dry with Prep.) Create a center or natural side part, then saturate bangs section with Does It All. Use a 1 and 1/4-inch curling iron to make loose barrel curls around the face. Gently fingercomb through strands to finish.
Sleek Topknots At Tracy Reese
Get the look: Before blowdrying, prep hair with SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair Blow Out Cream to protect and add shine to hair. Using a paddle brush, dry hair brushing away from the face. Massage Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé between hands and use to gather hair into a severe ponytail at the crown. Spritz Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser onto a paddle brush and smooth hair. Wrap wire around the base of the ponytail and twist so that the wire is hidden in the center of the tail. Twist the ponytail around the wire until it makes a tight spiraled rope, diagonally away from the head. Secure the ends with bobby pins. Slick back any loose hairs with an edge control and set the style in place with a moisturizing mist.
Super Straight Hair At Ohne Titel
Get the look: Spray roots with Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray and blow dry with finger tips. Smooth Thickening Full Form Mousse on dry hair from mid-length to ends, and then use a round brush to blow dry sections of hair straight but maintaining volume. Finish by adding loose waves around the face with a curling iron and brush out.
Teased And Textured Ponytails At Omondi
Get the look: Prep locks with a heat protectant cream or spray before drying. Fashion a deep center part and use a boar bristle brush to smooth hair into a low ponytail. Use a 2-inch curling iron to create large curls, then backcomb until you get a highly textured pony. Wrap a thin piece of fabric around elastic holder and finish the look with a few spritzes of extra hold hairspray.
Stevie Nicks-esque Hair At Reem Acra
Get the look: Make a center part and apply René Furterer Vegetal Mousse onto hair before blowdrying. To add a slight bend to locks, curl hair with a 1-inch curling iron. Brush through waves with fingers and set hair with a generous blast of hairspray.
