Party Hair gets a make-under
Alexa Chung, showcased a new, shorter hair cut that looks even easier to style than her previously longer locks. To get this look we spoke to Alexa's hairdresser George Northwood 'it's a very simple one-length bob, cut as you would a child's hair. The fringe is grown-out and worn either side' he told us. To style simply spritz towel-dried hair with Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray, £21 (an ELLE favourite), once dried use a large curling tong to create a bend in the hair and follow with some Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom, £17.50, which George recommends, apply it using your fingers to muss up the lengths. 'The colour is balayage, here at Hershesons we call it uplighting to create that smudgy look,' adds George. Book in with Alexa's colourist Amy Fish at Hersheson's in Harvey Nichols if you want to get the look. To get Daisy and Lara's texture follow the same technique as Alexa's, but gather your lengths up into a loose bun or ponytail and let any tendrils fall loose before lightly misting with hairspray.
