The Punk Movement Continues...

Spring Trends To Wear Now: Punk

The popularity of DIY owes a lot to the early punk movement. While nowadays the term punk is applied to teens with mohawks and safety-pin embellished ensembles, the original movement created a new aesthetic that moved against mainstream ideas about fashion, spawning a look that defied style norms. Androgynous haircuts, chalking, tousled styling, and disconnection are great ways to integrate punk into your style.

Step: Asymmetric cuts have an imperfect, DIY quality that adds edge to any style. For the most dramatic version, play around with extreme length contrasts, like pairing long hair with micro bangs or super short sides with a long, mohawk-inspired top. Keep edges piecey for a lived-in feeling. The new hybrid pixie bob is a perfect example of a modern take on this look. 

Step: High contrast blocks of color create a bold, gritty feeling. Ask your Lattouf colorist to create a placement that enhances your overall shape or embrace DIY and use hair chalk to create temporary color effects at home. Our fav is KEVIN.MURPHY COLOUR.BUG NEON 

Step: Use low sheen, texture enhancing products to get a grungy finish. KERASTASE POWDER BLUFF dry shampoo is great for holding high volume styles and creating a matte finish. KERASTASE SHORT MANIA will give detailed separation and mussed up appeal to short styles and the NEW KERASTASE LAQUE DENTELLE will give flexible hold and grit to gravity defying shape.

Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

 

The first New Zealander to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Lorde became pop royalty in 2016. Appropriately, The Wild Magazine dressed her in a regal crown for an editorial featured in their Youth Issue. Actually, what we love is the combination of hair textures; from straight at the crown, her style tumbles into a mass of terrific beach waves that surround her unusual and striking features.

Jennifer Lawrence Girl On Fire With New Pixie Crop

A Closer Look at the Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Cut

 

 Jennifer Lawrence's pixie-cut is a variation to traditional cropped cuts tightly tapered nape through the back, and an asymmetrical, short to long feel through the top and sides. But it’s the piece-y separation of texture that gives this style the modern, perfectly imperfect balance. She’s such a looker, and the cut exposes features like strong, high cheekbones, wide mouth, and unique eyes, which is always a good way to approach your beauty look. So while we’ll miss the flowing tousled locks that gave Jennifer a wow-factor, we can’t deny that we are loving this crop with a boyish twist.

Step 1: For a similar shape to Jennifer ask for a tightly tapered, graduated nape with length left on top. Get your stylist to create an asymmetrical, short to long feel. Razor-cutting will enhance a loose, imperfect texture.

Step 2: Cocktail Kerastase Short Mania  and Kevin Murphy Undressed to get hold and volume with a messy undone finish. Work through damp hair from roots to ends and blast dry with a blow-dryer, using hands to create movement and texture in the hair.

Step 3: Finish with a light layer of Kerastase Powder Bluff to enhance volume and slept in grit.

 

Step 4: For more durability spray lightly with Kevin Murphy Session Spray.

Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

For men, styling can be a challenge, especially if their strands fall somewhere between straight and curly. Slick, dapper looks are great for a night on the town, but men should have a casual option too, one that works with their texture. The prohibition era styles of the last few season can be hard to wear natural, especially with wavy textures. The cuts shown here offer a stylish alternative. They have enough length and weight to encourage movement with tapered edges that keep things neat.

Step 1: Ask your stylist for a classic graduated haircut with length at the front. And don’t even think about going to a barber; for this cut to look its best it needs to be customized for your specific texture and growth pattern, something that only an expert stylist can do.

Step 2: At home, shampoo and condition with a gentle hydrating shampoo we recommend Pure Lattouf Hydrate my hair sulphate free shampoo.

Step 3: After showering, towel dry hair very well. Mix together a nickel each of KEVIN.MURPHY NIGHT.RIDER and KEVIN MURPHY UN.DRESSED. Run through strands, starting at the crown and working out to prevent clumping at the front hairline. Part if desired and tousle into place.
