The designer: TwinkleThe look: Retro, Faux Bob
When David Cruz, lead stylist for the Twinkle show, thought about creating the hairstyle for this collection, he envisioned the World War II era. “There are a lot of tweeds coming up in the fall and the structure of this collection felt military,” Cruz says, “although Twinkle has very soft and pretty sweaters on top, with a lot of layering.”
His creative vision evolved into a quirky, faux bob. Cruz starts to design the look with a 3/8-inch barrel curling iron to create tight coils throughout the entire mane. “Then, I twist part of it up in a French twist, but you’re not going to see it from the back,” says Cruz, also a Redken stylist. “I’m also teasing the top and side into a rounded shape so it looks airy and quirky, but still contained and organized. When you come to the front it looks almost like a 20s finger wave that’s been brushed out a little bit.”
Call it your own: This style is even easier to achieve for those with naturally curly hair, Cruz says. Start by creating a side part, then mist the front of your tresses with your favorite styling spray or gel and mold a grouping of curls into an s-shape. Add a few pins to lock in the shape, then let the section dry and remove the pins. As for the rest of your textured tresses, allow them to dry naturally or speed up the process with a diffuser. Next, creating the faux bob. Loosely pull those free-flowing curls back and secure them with a ponytail at the end. Then, roll it under and into itself until you reach the base of your neck.“Pin that in to secure it and you have what looks like a 20s bob, but more modern,” Cruz explains. “Even if a few pieces come out it will look pretty and a little disheveled, but not crazy.”
