The Downtown Wave Fall/Winter 2016
The Downtown Wave was the perfect cool-casual hairstyle to complement the deconstructed feel of the Monse FW16 show at New York Fashion Week. Orlando Pita, TRESemmé New York Fashion Week Ambassador, described this style as “celebrating individuality through natural texture and soft lines”, a sentiment echoed in the crushed velvet, puffball pinstripes and satin shirtdresses sent down the Monse runway.
Tailoring with a twist was a key theme running through this collection – where workwear and eveningwear merged to unique effect – and these undone waves, worn with a side-swept part, kept the look edgy and imperfect. Messy movement through the lengths makes this an easy hairstyle to take from catwalk to casual, resulting in wavy hair that looks effortlessly cool. All you need is a blow dryer and a flat iron to wave goodbye to try-hard tresses. Here’s how to get the undone waves from Monse FW16.
