A Fashion Week Favorite From Aveda for Tibi

My Facebook and Twitter feed was blowing up these past two weeks with images and inspiration from NYFW 2014. There were so many great hair looks that I followed from companies like Redken, Aveda and Bumble and Bumble that it was hard to narrow down the looks for the blog post. Since I am a stylist for an Aveda salon, I was swayed to show you their looks. Aveda does an excellent job at bringing you backstage at Fashion Week to see what is happening behind the scenes.
My favorite look was for Tibi. The Aveda Global Creative Director, Antoinette Beenders stated that her look for the show was "country girl meets urbanite." Two things that make the look great are the cornrow inverted braid on top and the lose wave throughout the ends. I was inspired by the use of the Pure Abundance Style Prep that gave great texture to the hair. Next they divided the hair into three section; two on the side and one in back, braided and crimped with the straightener. This technique gave the hair an effortless look and natural wave texture. I can not wait to try this on my long haired clients!

Parting Ways

To begin, this Pinterest image has been haunting me and I'm sure many of my other readers for quite some time now.

This look is fresh and simple, yet timeless and chic. I have seen many celebrities rocking this new look and depending on the length of your hair now, you could go with a longer or shorter version of the style. But, I must say it's time to stop hiding behind our long hair (if you have it) and go for something new! I will be getting up the courage to do this haircut this February I promise. Let me know if you are on board and we can assemble the masses and encourage each other to part ways with our hair and try on a new look. Won't you join me? Please say yes.

Mercedes Fashion Week is Feb. 6 - 13 and I attached the following link to check out. I will be reporting on what comes out of the event. Happy Fashion Week to all!
