Spring/Summer 2014 hot hair trends with Motions

Get The Looks

For Summer 2014, Nthato Mashishi, renowned celebrity hairstylist and brand ambassador for leading Afro hair care brand, Motions, is inspired by sources as varied as the drama of the 16th century French court, the glamour of the Red Carpet, architectural structure and the sassy attitude of South African street style to develop four looks that will allow local divas to express the season’s four big themes of Sleek, Hold, Volume and Curls.

 

Style 1:                  The Sleek Braided Bun

Inspired by the braids of Louis 14 and the 16th century French court as well as contemporary South African plaiting, The Bun Queen is a fabulous blend of historic precision and street style joie de vivre.

Step 8:                  Tuck the back sectioned hair under the teased hair to create the quaff. The trick of this look is to balance the quaff.

Step 9:                  Spray hair with a combination of Motions Light Hold Working Spritz and Motions Oil Sheen & Conditioning Spray to give shine, spray from an arm’s length away from your hair, ensuring to not use too much product.
