The Bouncy Voluminous Hair Trend from FW16

Big, luscious locks never go out of style. Whatever the decade, bouncy hair is never far from the fashion agenda – but va-va-voom volume was one of the big fall 2016 hair trends, both on the runway and in the street. Forget stiff styles frozen into obedience by hairspray, though: this look is all about silky, voluminous hair with natural movement.

 

The FW16 New York Fashion Week shows were awash with enviably bouncy hair – in all shapes and sizes. At BCBG MaxAzria the quirky collection of asymmetrical skirts and furry sandals were complemented by a tousled, fluid wave. Meanwhile at Diane Von Furstenberg, the models rocked glam 70’s blow-outs to enhance her bohemian collection. And at Monse, volume was deconstructed into a downtown wave, perfectly matching the designer’s flowing silk separates and eveningwear. 

 

Off the catwalk, TRESemmé Style Setters reporter Louise Roe admired beautiful, bouncy tresses at every turn. Actress and beauty blogger Teni Panosian explained why the volumized style was so popular backstage: “It’s just an effortless, chic and classic look”, she said.

 

Luckily, you don’t need a trip to the salon to achieve gorgeous bounce. Louise caught up with TRESemmé stylist John D. for his top styling tips on how to recreate runway-worthy voluminous hair at home. 

 

Tools needed to achieve the look: Blow dryer, medium-sized round brush, clips, and a soft bristle brush.

 

Step 1:Reverse your hair care routine. Condition first with TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-Wash Conditioner to moisturise and soften, then cleanse with the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume shampoo to wash away any weight.

 

Step 2: Using your fingers, work TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Mousse into damp hair from root to tip. Formulated with Fleximax Volumizers, this blow dry companion will help you to build serious body, but will still let your hair move. 

 

Step 3:Separating your hair into sections, blow dry each with a medium-sized round brush. As each section dries, roll the hair into a loose curl and secure with a clip. 

 

Step 4:Let the hair set. This is the most important step – you need to be patient and let the product do its work.

 

Step 5: Once the hair has completely cooled, release the waves from the clips and gently run your fingers through your hair. Gently brush over your locks with a soft bristle brush to calm any flyaways.

 

Step 6: Spritz over TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hair Spray to hold the bounce without stiffening your style. 

 

And there you have it – modern, bouncy, voluminous hair that’s sure to get you noticed!
