NYC's Top Stylists On How To Get Spring's Freshest Hairstyles

Marie Robinson Salon's Allison Woodruff

Who: Allison Woodruff, stylist at the Marie Robinson Salon Favorite style for spring: My favorite style for Spring 2013 is an undone, textured look - effortless, casual and unfussy. I love this layered look for it's versatility. How to recreate the look: This style works best when it looks very "I just woke up this way"- roughed up with a beach spray or scrunched and twisted dry with a diffuser. To achieve, prep damp hair with a volumizing mousse, such as Aveda's Phomollient or Tigi Bed Head Totally Baked Volumizing & Prepping Hair Meringue, and rough dry hair with your fingers, twirling the ends away from your face. When hair is dry, twist the ends into a low bun and secure with a bobby pin, let set for 15-20 minutes and release for perfectly undone waves. Finish with a salt spray such as Oribe's Apres Beach or Sachajuan Ocean Spray for a look that's simple and cool. This look can be styled with a middle or side part. Who this works well on: It works on a variety of face shapes and textures, with the shortest pieces beginning at the hollows of the cheeks, highlighting the eyes and cheekbones. [Photo via]
