ESPY Awards Trend Spotting: Long, Loose Waves
When it came to their hair at Wednesdayâs ESPY Awards, nearly all the lovely attendees chose to wear it down. And while a few people went for a sleek look (Danica Patrick, Marisa Miller), there were lots of tousled waves, and quite a few deep, side parts, too. Trend alert!
Lake Bell and Katherine Webb epitomized the effortless, summer look, while Chrissy Teigen took her part even deeper, and left her curls a bit more precise, and kept the top of her locks straight. Olivia Wildeâs translation of the trend was the âcleanestâ, with a smoother, less tousled curl.
To achieve this look, you want to keep (or add!) some texture to your hair as you blow dry, so add a mousse to your wet hair, and then rough dry it (use only your fingers to tousle as you dryâno brush).
Once itâs dry, spray it with a texturizing spray, and then chose the location of your part. Once the part is in place, use a curling iron and curl your entire head, alternating directions of the curl to create a messier look. If you want to recreate Chrissyâs look, instead of winding the entire length of your hair on the wand, stop mid-length to keep the top straight.
Once the curls are complete, run your fingers through them to pull them a little looser and make things a bit more tousled.
Finally, set the look with a flexible hold hair spray to keep the waves in place, but still moving.
