Taylor Swift is barely 19 and has a headlining tour to promote her new album Fearless. She writes her own songs and is indeed a very brave young woman with a good head on her shoulders. She even directed and produced most of the elements in her tour (see her interview with Hoda Kotb on NBC).
Speaking of a good head on her shoulders, Taylor always wears her signature hairstyle: all over foiled blond hair, long and full, wavy/curly and very shiny. How do you achieve this look?
- If you are a medium to light blond, ask your stylist to give you a full foil with a medium weave in the back and sides and closely spaced slices off the diagonal on top. If you are a darker color, this look can be achieved by doing a foil with 2-3 shades lighter than your shade. Make sure to inform your stylist if you have previous color on your hair as this will require using bleach lightener and a toner to follow. If you are naturally dark, a high lift tint or strongly formulated lighter color will be required (consider a reddish brown or a medium ashy blond.)
- If you have wavy curly hair like Taylor Swift: shampoo and condition with the Alterna Caviar Moisture line. Towel dry. Apply Kevin Murphy Bodyguard from mid-shaft to the ends. Finger/rough blow dry the roots with tension away from the part. Twirl the ends into spirals and blowdry them while scrunching. When 90% dry take a 1.5″ curling iron to the twisted ends and curl them up to 3″ from the scalp. Once curled, let cool and separate out the curls with a pick lightly. Spray with Rapid Repar Caviar Spray for shine all over. Then lightly spray with Kevin Murphy Session Spray. (for more hold you can spray before curling.)
- If you have straight hair: Shampoo and condition with the Alterna Caviar Volume line. Towel dry. Apply Kevin Murphy’s Anti Gravity from the root to mid shaft. Then apply Kevin Murphy’s Hair Resort to the ends. Scrunch the ends while blowdrying with medium heat on low. Once 100% dry, use the 1.5″ curling iron to add curl from the midshaft to the ends. Here you will not twist the ends (it will weigh down the hair and drop the curl). Use a pick to lightly separate out the curls. Spray with Alterna Caviar Working Spray lightly to the ends and scrunch again.
