Backstage Beauty Notes: Long and purposefully messy hair may seem like a no-brainer to style, but that’s not always the case.
It takes a degree of styling finesse to look effortlessly undone and chic rather than unkempt.
Take a backstage beauty cue from Joseph Altuzarra’s Fall-Winter 2012 Fashion Week Runway Show to try a look that may appear confidently easy by using the right amount of hair products.

Good styling needs a great finish: Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Creme at Drugstore.com Use hands to brush through and create a slight middle part.
- When working with thicker or longer hair take the very bottom section of the hair, along the nape of the neck, and make a small braid underneath the rest of the hair.
- To conceal the braid, while thinning the look of the hair, braid up the side of the head and pin tightly.
- Next, allow the hair to air dry or use a dryer diffuser to give the style a natural and relaxed look.
- Lightly curl the ends of the hair in random sections to give the hair unkempt and individualized final look.
- Finally, apply a small amount of Fekkai Coiff Nonchalant Piecing and Forming Wax and Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Crème throughout the hair to hold the look.
