The Fluid Wave Autumn/Winter 2016

Dancers were the inspiration behind the BCBG Max Azria show at New York Fashion Week AW16, so it makes sense that TRESemmé New York Fashion Week Ambassador Orlando
Pita gave models hair with beautifully subtle movement. With locks that cascaded gently
from imperfect partings, a hairstyle star was born: The Fluid Wave.

TRESemmé stylists perfectly choreographed hair to look charmingly haphazard, keeping it
shiny and natural, with slight volume at the roots and tumbling texture throughout. And this windswept look worked wonderfully with the cozy Autumn feel of this show: its autumnal
color scheme, long coats, woolly knits and furry fabrics.

While the dance inspiration lent sparkle, stripes and a sportswear vibe to the collection, the hairstyle said ‘off-duty dancer who’s just undone her bun’ – a relaxed, casual look for
downtime.

On the street, one of our favorite fashion bloggers, Arielle Charnas of Something Navy,
showed how this style can work with a more dressed-up look. The gentle waves and center
part echoed the BCBG runway, but her chic monochrome coat, over-the-knee boots and snowball pom pom charm swinging from a classic handbag took this on-trend 'do in a
completely different direction.

However you want to wear it, The Fluid Wave is an easy look to achieve yourself. We recommend the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth collection for creating the soft, natural texture needed. You’ll also need a blow dryer, soft bristle brush, and a one inch curling iron.

STEP 1:

Start with the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. Use a mousse for extra volume at the roots
STEP 2:

Twist random one-inch sections around your curling iron, starting two inches down from the roots and leaving the ends straight. You basically want to add movement to the mid-lengths only, to create an imperfect wave that doesn’t look too ‘styled’. Then gently brush out those curls with a soft bristle brush.
STEP 3:

Finish your style with a spritz of TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to hold your style. Spray with TRESemme Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo for extra volume.

Add style sparkle to any look with this off-duty dancer-inspired 'do – you’re only three simple steps away!
