hair trend: HAIR HALF UP

THIS LOOK IS STRAIGHT FROM THE RUNWAY...

For Rodarte's recent collection, hairstylist Odile Gilbert created a side-swept style that 

incorporated a tiny braid on one side. 

To DIY: 

1. Create texture by using a styling foam throughout dry hair, twisting and scrunching strands with your fingers as you blow-dry - stop halfway through to spray in some hair spray. 

2. Make a strong, slightly imperfect part on the left side of your head, leaving a large section sweeping across your forehead. 

3. Bring together two-inch pieces from either side of the part into a very small braid over your right ear and secure the ends with a clear elastic. 

4. Pin any long pieces unobtrusively in place, by tucking the ends into the braid. 

5. Keep the windblown look from falling out by finishing with a heavy coating of hair spray.
