Hair How-to's

Celebrity hairstyle: Alexa Chung - Slick and Short

Ben Cooke, celebrity hairstylist & co-founder of Lockonego says: 'This is a classic Alexa Chung look: effortlessly slick and cool with grown out roots for a grunge-glamour edge and requires very little effort.'

Get Alexa's look:

1. Prep damp hair with a small pump of Herbal Essences’ Dazzling Shine Leave-In Serum to fix frizz and increase the gloss

2. Blast dry hair with a medium heat from your hairdryer while teasing the ends with your finger tips to create texture

3. Smooth roots with a fine-toothed comb, making sure you comb only halfway along the hair – you want to keep the ends looking textured and un-tamed.

4. Finally, add a little volume by gently teasing the roots with your fingertips and pushing the hair up slightly as you tuck the front sections behind the ear.


Celebrity haistyle: Alexa Chung - Natural Up-do

Expert Karine Jackson says: 'This is a natural looking style; once you have practiced a few times it will become quick and easy to do.'

Get the look:

1. Apply a heat protection spray like Organic Care System's Twenty 2 Twenty (£8.76) generously to wet hair, and place a middle parting in your hair.


2. Rough dry your hair on a medium heat and speed. Aim the hairdryer down the hair shaft - this will stop the hair from frizzing

3. Once the hair is completely dry spray your heat protector again lightly all over; but you don’t want to dampen the hair. Set the hair in large heated rollers, wait for the rollers to cool and take them out. This will give you hair a slight tousle.

4. Take a section of hair from the front of the ear to the other side and leave this pinned out of the way.

5. Take the back section of the hair and loosely pull into the back, tuck under your hand and pin into the nape.

6. Unpin the front section, smooth over and let fall. Finish the style with a gloss, shine spray.

I just spoke to George Northwood, Alexa's hairdresser, who told us exactly how to get the hairstyle that she wore to the British Fashion Awards.

'I styled Alexa's hair for the event. The cut Alexa has needs to be worn messy; I rough dried her hair and then really loosely tonged it. I then used Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom, £17.50, to give it that messy texture.

'The haircut is a very simple one length bob, I cut it like I would a child's hair and the fringe is simply grown-out and worn parted to both sides'.

As for the colour George recommends you book in with Alexa's colourist Amy Fish who works at the Hersheson's salon in Harvey Nichols. 'Alexa has Balayage, but at Hersheson's we call it Uplighting, this focuses the colour onto the ends and gives it that smudgy effect'.

So there you have it, Alexa's hair how-to from the man in the know.

Can't believe I'm about to criticise Alexa - and I may have to take a lie-down after saying this! - but... the two-tone hair is all kinds of wrong.
 
Loooove the shorter hair. Looks so much better as her hair is fine and lacks body when it is longer. I have the exact same sort of hair and it sucks big, fat eggs.
 
^ I love love that picture; I like the outfit, the bag is to die for, and I like her hair there.
 
she was voted best dressed in grazia. cant be bothered to scan the pages :ermm:
