There’s a chill in the air, which means one thing… Clients are hitting the refresh button on their hair and embracing new looks. We’ve nailed down some of UNITE’s best hair stylists to share five styling techniques we can teach our clients when it comes to styling their hair at home this season.
Faux Bangs
“Autumn is here and the temperature is cooling down, which makes now the best time to add faux hair without the fear of overheating.” says celebrity stylist Jenn Lagron. “Once your hair is styled and you’re ready to apply the bangs, spray your hair with BOOSTA Finishing Spray where you will place the bangs to create grip and hold. For extra hold, spray the product onto the clips too. I call this insurance. Next apply 7SECONDS Glossing Spray all over to add shine and protect from UV rays all day.” – Jenn Lagron
Sleek Twisted Bun
“Autumn means bundling up and more layers of clothing. A structured hairstyle such as this Sleek Bun with Twists can complete the ultimate Autumn look” says Jenn. “The less you think about where to place the twists the better it looks and the more fun you will have! To achieve the look, start by applying ELEVATE Mousse at the roots and snatch the hair back into a ponytail. Pump a heavy amount of U Oil into your palms to coat the entire ponytail until it almost looks wet. This will tame frizz in your twists and add shine. Twist small sections of hair in alternating directions and pin into a bun formation. Complete the look with BOOSTA Finishing Spray to lock it in.” – Jenn Lagoon
French Twist
“Claw clips have been everyone’s go-to hair accessory for a few years now and I think the French twist is a great alternative to a bun or ponytail for wearing your hair up” , says celeb stylist Cherilyn Farris. “You can keep it polished or go for something more loose and tousled. It’s just a chic and timeless way of putting your hair up. To achieve the look, start on dry hair and use BEACH Day Spray to add some grip to the hair to help the style hold. I’ll use a combination of bobbi pins and French hair pins and then spray GO365 Hairspray. I love how you can customise the hold strength of this hairspray.” – Cherilyn Farris
Tight Waves
“Overnight heatless styling has been continually rising in popularity and fun wavers have made styling texture easier for everyone. Tight wavy hair has an effortless and versatile vibe so it’s great for most days and events.” says Cherilyn. “For more of a lived-in feel that feels less like mermaid waves and more like polished texture, spray 7SECONDS Glossing Spray throughout dry hair for thermal protection and shine before using a 3-barrel waver or flat-iron to make tight S-waves. Take a pea size amount of SECOND Day Finishing Cream, spread it on fingers and palms and rake through the ends for definition.” – Cherilyn Farris
Bouncy High Shine
“This season we’ll mix two of my favourite trends, glass hair and a bouncy blow dry. The look is chic and sleek with soft movement on the ends and a beautiful high, shine finish.” says Sophie. “A key product to creating this look is SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream. This product is a fantastic prep for the hair that will instantly add shine and softness whilst promoting healthy hair. Take your round brush and bevel the ends, or once the hair is dried, grab your big barrel tong to create movement to the ends. Shine spray is another must-have when creating this look. I love 7SECONDS Glossing Spray. Try adding a luxe side part to take this style to the next level.” – Sophie Sugarman
