Backstage Hair: #NYFW Veronica Beard

Veronica Beard Fall/Winter 2014

 

Overall Look: Vintage 70s waves with a sleek, downtown edge 
Hair Inspiration: Chic and elegant, yet ready for a big night out.

 

O+M’s Creative Director Janelle Chaplin created a cool, easy look by offsetting the loose, classic 70s wave with a super tight, sleek side to complete the designers’ vision.

 

1. Prep dry hair with a generous amount of O+M Rootalicious Root Lift Spray throughout roots to ends. 
2. Blow dry with a round brush to achieve a soft look.
3. With a wide tooth comb, part hair on the right at the arch of the eyebrow, creating a dramatic sweep to the left.
4. Create soft waves by lightly curling the hair with a large curling iron, brushing through to smooth 
5. Then, apply O&M Style Guru Styling Cream to the right side of the hair, slicking back behind the ear. 
6. Finish with a light

dusting of O&M Surf Bomb Sea Salt Spray to add texture to the waves. 

 

 

This style is glamorous for a daytime and a night out look, add a bold red or soft pink nude lip.
