Go, curl! How to get 2016's hottest hair

Wavy hair is making a comeback – as James Galvin, Kérastase ambassador, illustrates with his latest twists in hair trends. And not a corkscrew in sight…

‘When it comes to curls, don’t think perfect, think playful,’ says James, which is

why he added some floral fun to this look – just as Diane von Furstenberg did on her spring/summer 2016 catwalk. If you have straight hair, however, you too can join the wavy movement. ‘Just remember, if you want to fake it, you’ve got to make it with the new generation of products.’ 

Wave this way: ‘Bring out natural waves and body with a curl-enhancing mousse,’ says James, ‘Use a diffuser attachment, and, once dried, go back and define the odd unruly twist with a small tong at the end. Add a summertime accessory for fun.’ Try: Discipline Mousse Curl Idéal, £20.90, Kérastase.

Ahead-of-the-curve tip: ‘For a softer wave, use medium-sized tongs in sections all over, pinning curls up to let them cool before brushing out with fingers,’ says James. Finish with Spray à Porter, £21, Kérastase.

Join the pony club

The secret to spring/summer 2016 curls is movement. As seen on the Loewe runway, ponytails were left loose and bouncy, so that they swished as the models walked. ‘It’s the attitude that matters more than the finish now,’ says James.
