TWIST YOUR STYLE!
Everyone has a unique face shape, so make sure that your special style accentuates your best features. Other than that, include a consultation with your salon appointment to ensure that you and your stylist have the proper amount of time to create the most breathtaking style…ever. And, never hesitate to bring in pictures of looks that you find downright divalicious. The one caveat: Make sure that they’re current as ’dos du jour can change faster than a reality star’s allotted 15 minutes.
Top knots—which are very much in vogue this season—are sexy, youthful, fresh, and even add some height,” comments celebrity stylist Marcia Hamilton, who has created looks for Jada Pinkett Smith, Kim Kardashian, and Venus and Serena Williams, just to name a few A-listers who’ve put their beauty fate in her hands.
For those craving a more classic or campy style, Kimberly Kimble—Beyonce’s mane babe—suggests a neo-’40s or ’50s upstyle. “Pinning the hair into rolls, or even creating a pincurl style, creates a very modern vibe,” she smiles. And while effortless looks are still very much in style, Kimble stresses that you must be aware of these important points: Looking effortless and achieving an effortless look are two different things. And done or undone, this season’s hautest styles feature flawlessly finished strands. Enter your expert—make that your stylist—who knows how to do these things, hands down.
