It’s Valentine’s Day, and after several painstaking hours, you’ve finally donned just the right outfit, slipped into the perfect jewels, and your smoky eyes would give Sophia Loren a run for her money.
But what to do with your mundane mane?
Get inspired with this “Vintage Glamour” look by ARROJO Studio, the Soho, NYC-based salon owned by expert hairstylist Nick Arrojo, who is featured on TLC’s “What Not to Wear.”
ARROJO Studio’s Amanda Jenkins and Chuck Olson explain how to reproduce the style before your romantic night out.
What You’ll Need:
- Bobby Pins
- Curling Iron
- Bristle Brush
- Shine Spray
- Hair Spray
Go Glam:
Begin in the front of your head, taking a one to two-inch section of hair, and lightly mist with holding spray. Use a medium barrel curling iron to create the curl, then mist again with holding spray. Brush the curl out smoothly with a bristle brush. Wrap the loose curl around one or two fingers and pin in into place on your head. Continue around your head using different sized curling irons for more dimension and various curl sizes. Don’t worry about getting each curl perfect – the messiness of the style is what makes it sexy and wearable. Spritz the finished style with Holding Spray once more (but go easy to keep the look natural), and add Shine Spray to finish for extra glitz.
Work it:
Stay perfectly-coiffed from your first taste of champagne to your last forkful of tiramisu by keeping a mini-sized spray in your bag for quick touch-ups.
