Trend Alert: Rockabilly Hair

BellaSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 10:00:56 PDT

Rockabilly hair can best be described as a modern take on the bun-but it has more height, added texture, and just a little bit of edginess, since the look doesn't require every single hair to be in place.

Lately we've been talking about the spring 2008 looks, but we shouldn't forget that the first day of fall is actually tomorrow! This chic hairstyle appeared on the runways of Nathan Jenden and Billl Blass (see the gallery) for the Fall 2007 New York Fashion Shows and is appropriate for day or night.

The look can easily be created at home by following these five simple steps. To read them,

Step 1: Use a little bit of Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray while blow-drying hair to give it shape and height.
Step 2: Next, Isolate a section of hair at the top and spritz it with a firm hold hairspray.
Step 3: Then, wrap hair around four hot rollers and let it set for fifteen minutes.
Step 4: Next, pull the rest of your hair into a ponytail and secure with a hair elastic (choose a color closest to your own hair color).
Step 5: Let the curls flop to one side and secure the ponytail to the top your head with bobby pins. Overlap the curls, pin them and then mist your entire head again with hairspray.

The 1950s were an enormously influential decade for American style. Post-WWII, the US was rebuilding its economy and moving (haltingly and often painfully) towards social change. The dynamism and simultaneous retreat to more conservative times are both apparent in the era's styles, which veer wildly from rockabilly hair to pixie cuts and primly waved bobs. It was a time of great change and style to match, so check out some of the decade's most prominent highlights.

Proenza Schouler Does Rough Rockabilly Hair

As The Smiths played backstage before Proenza Schouler's show, lead stylist Paul Hanlon was in a peppy, playful mood. "It's borderline bad-taste," he said of the deconstructed hairstyle. "But it's beautiful, too. The look is masculine-meets-feminine, organic, weathered hair." While the rockabilly-inspired quiff may be too tough to wear off the runway, softly textured hair will be big for Spring. Hanlon's team prepared models' dry hair with Fekkai Coiff Océanique Tousled Wave Spray, which adds tons of texture. The key to pulling off an unconventional look, according to Hanlon? Confidence. "The Proenza girl is so confident in the way she looks," he said. "If you have the confidence, you can pull off anything."
