Your Favorite '80s Hair Trend Is Back
When you think of the 1980s, you typically don't imagine a bunch of flattering beauty and fashion trends. But amid all the awkwardly bright eyeliner and wild mullets, there was one gem (teased hair!) that's on its way back in style.
All over this year's runways, we saw models rocking some seriously voluminous hair. And we're not talking the perfectly coiled ringlets or those silky beach waves we usually see on the red carpet every year. This updated version of big and tousled hair is three parts messy and one part polished, giving the wearer a cool, rockstar vibe.
Bonus: This look is super easy to get, it just takes a little careful brushing. "Part dry hair in a 1- to 2-inch wide section, then hold the hair perpendicular to the scalp," instructs Melinda Martinez, hairstylist at Book Your Look.
"Place a fine tooth comb about 4 inches from the root and back comb only in the direction of the root." She warns against going in a back and forth motion — that's how you can damage the hair shaft. Back comb about four times, then spritz a little hairspray on the bottom side of your part and smooth down the top using a bristle brush. Voila! Sexy, mussed-up hair.
If you're not quite ready for full-on bombshell hair but you love a little boost of volume, you could always try our handy toothbrush teasing trick. It livens up your locks without making you look like a member of Whitesnake.
Unless that's something you want, of course.
