Banish those visions of Winehouse in her darker days- or those slightly staid early 60’s versions- the new beehive is more ‘Disheveled Ice-Queen’. We know it’s hard to take at the moment, but as we all know, good hair needs planning. This is the perfect look to take us into Autumn/Winter!
Tradition gets adventurous as the catwalks play with texture and colour to create a modernistic urban fantasy. As fashion experiments with chunky cable knits worn over billowing maxi skirts, beehives provide the perfect partnership, combining powdered palettes and light, airy volume with tough leather headbands and plenty of attitude.
The modern beehive is all about movement and wearability. Karl Lagerfeld sent models down the runways with textured height from the crown scooping back to be pinned at the nape of the neck, giving the illusion of shorter hair. The good news is that this look is suitable for those with bobbed to long-length hair. Have a look at the styles below for inspiration…
The Beehive How-to
1. Spray Bumble and bumble Surf Spray (£17.50) to dry hair and blow dry into the hair to create texture and malleable hold.
2. Backcomb your whole head using a fine tooth comb. The best way to create real height is by working a fine tooth comb about three centimeters away from the root and pushing down firmly towards the scalp. Work down the hair from the root to about three quarters of the length of the hair.
3. Once back-combed, smooth the hair’s surface, using a soft bristle brush to create cloud-like volume.
4. Loosely smooth hair back to create height and pin in place. Use headbands a la Karl and Prada to cover up the join if you wish.
5. Generously spray Bumble and bumble Extra Strength Holding Spray (£16.00) to finish the style.
Remember, the shape you are going for is rounded, wispy and o-so-slightly rebellious. Beehive? BEHAVE! Xx
