As we head into summer, we’re mixing up styling trends with a new take on a trusted favorite — the lived-in look. Lived-in, slightly messy styles are the hottest, most requested hair trend and they’re definitely not going anywhere. Guests are looking for cuts that match their attitude and are fairly easy to style. Manda Ziegelman, Sam Villa Ambassador, explains. “A rock ‘n roll vibe gives the “I didn’t try too hard” organic, textured feel with disheveled movement. The way to achieve this look is by not overthinking it, and it all starts with a great cut.”
To create the look, Manda explains, “My go-to is the Sam Villa Signature Series Razor to carve a beautiful shape. Be careful not to add too many layers on the surface, because the beauty of this look happens within. This model’s hair is thick and dense, so removing bulk out of the interior with a Sam Villa Signature Series 7” Dry Cutting Swivel Shear to collapse the shape is a crucial move. In the more fine and sparse areas, just a few snips with a Sam Villa Signature Series 14 Tooth Point Cutting Shear does the trick.”
“The magic of this look is created with styling and it’s so important NOT to overdo it, less is definitely more here. Product of choice, Cult + King Jelly at the base, to activate root volume that isn’t too fluffy. After, rough dry with your hands, pick and pull layers in slight twisting motions with your fingers covered in Vegan Balm to create separation and a tendrilly silhouette.”
