The messy, wash-and-wear bedhead hair usually prominent on spring runways was replaced this season with subtly styled, softly textured, long and loose, healthy-looking locks. Models’ hair saw the heat of a blow-dryer, the better side of a Mason Pearson brush, the light touch of rollers (be they hot or Velcro) and the barrel of a curling iron. Most importantly, hair appeared to be moisture-infused and silky smooth to the touch with lots of healthy movement. “I wanted to bring sexiness and seduction to the looks. Not all of the models have healthy hair, so I used Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion for a rough blow-dry, then a curling iron to gently create loose waves,” says Laurent Philippon, editorial stylist extraordinaire for Bumble and Bumble and architect of the free-falling hairstyles shown on the BCBG Max Azria and Moschino Cheap & Chic runways. With nary a split end in sight, the unfussy yet well-groomed coifs worn by models like Liu Wen, Kate Somers and Jourdan Dunn were the perfect complement to those über-luxe collections, while similar strands set off the soft silhouettes at Roberto Cavalli, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Diesel, Ralph Lauren and Sportmax.

We know that you love hot trends and beauty tips! We love them too . This is why we take advantage of any opportunity and share with you the greatest secrets. Now, we will reveal 5 tricks that will make you hair, the number one star anywhere you would go!
1. Do not hurry in using the hair dryer when you want to get over with the wet hair. It is a quick method, but it harms your hair. Instead…using a towel to dry your hair is the solution that causes 0% damage to it! So, we recommend a little patient!
2. While you are out, shopping, walking, or whatever you do in the city, make time at least 1 time per month to see your hairdresser and trim your split peaks. It is a process that should take no longer than five minutes, but will regenerate your hair, giving it a healthy appearance.
3. You should not apply to styling products on wet hair! Leaking water is “washing” away all the benefic ingredients. Therefore, before you use gel or foam, dry hair with a towel, and then comb it with a large teeth comb.
4. There is a “water law”! When you prepare your hair for washing use warm water – it opens cells and allows washing in depth. When rinsing, however, things are exactly opposite: colder water will close the cuticle and will add brilliance to your hair.
5. The solution for tresses that stay attached to the scalp, leaving an impression of NO volume, is wearing curlers: use one or two big curlers in which you catch tresses as tight as you can, from front to back.
Our advice is to take good care of your hair and do not over exaggerate with painting it. Wear it as natural as you can, and enjoy your youth. Now, with these five tips, it will look greater then ever!
