Creating Two-Textured Hair

Why settle for straight or curly when you can have both? Here's how.

According to Alan Whyte, a stylist at Nubest & Co. Salon in Manhasset, New York, and an ARTec's global design team member, blending two opposing textures is hip this season. "Straight hair is no longer simply straight-it's more of a loose wave than a straight line," Whyte says. "Don't think clash, think blend."

This season, Whyte worked his magic backstage for international designers such as: Gucci, Calvin Klein, Valentino, Narcisso Rodriguez, Versace and Jeffrey Lee.Two-textured hair was a runaway runway trend, appearing in many funky incarnations-shine meets frizz, slick meets full and wet meets dry

"At Versace, I parted hair in the centre, then used curling irons to create a mix of long, dry, slightly frizzed Botticelli waves and curls," Whyte describes. "At the Narcissco Rodriguez Collection, we mixed textures to give hair a disheveled "undone" look. A curling iron was used again to style hair section by section-one waved, the next curled, the next left out."
