HAIRSTYLES

Amanda Smith’s hair is so good that I barely notice the clothes in this shoot.

Granted, there’s nothing fancy about it – no complex up ‘dos or out-there hair accessories to speak of. But it’s long. It’s red. It has a sweeping peek-a-boo fringe revealing her sweetly freckled nose. And there’s a few little waves at the end that save it from looking too un-done or flat, gently propelling it back into the 1960s.

It’s the kind of style that you can do in 5 minutes flat, but that still looks amazing.

Underdone to perfection. It’s a recurrent theme at Gail Elliot’s label LIttle Joe, into which she injects her own brand of one-time-supermodel effortless glamour. Backstage at her spring 2011 Little Joe show L’Oreal Professional Hair Director, Brad Ngata, kept that feeling of being ‘undone’ in a lightly textured yet flowing and free hairstyle.
