STYLE #1: DEEP SIDE PART
“To create a simple version of Veronica Lake-esque waves is pretty easy, and I tend to favour this look for day-to-day. After washing my hair with evo gluttony volume shampoo and conditioner, I blow-dry my clean hair backwards, away from my face to keep it as smooth as possible. Then, I use the Lady Jayne Tail Comb to form a deep part, brushing the majority of the hair to one side.
Volume is key to this look and helps to add hold and body, so a volumising product like the Fudge Big Hair Elevate Styling Powder is essential. I lightly dust the powder along my hairline, then gently rub it into the roots. Next, I use my hands to brush the hair into place, and then I create hold with some light hairspray, like the TONI&GUY Hair Care Flexible Hold Hairspray.
Finally, I smooth down my hair with some Moroccanoil Light Oil Treatment. I use both hands to apply the oil, and only to the ends, twirling slightly to keep the curl.” – bh’s Sarah

STYLE #2: BRAID
“A braid is a go-to for me when I don’t want to deal with dirty locks and I want to keep the hair off my face. With hair that is already parted with a deep side part, I start by prepping my hair with Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL along my part and hairline before rubbing in.
I keep the hair pulled tight throughout as I braid. Then, I tie the braid off, leaving enough at the end to wrap around my bun later. Next, I create a bun at the nape of my neck, then take the braided section and wrap the end around the base of my bun and pin in place.
To finish, I always add a nice spritz of VO5 Tame and Shine Spray to tame any fly aways and give my dirty hair some life!” – bh’s Sarah
