What you need to do to get the look?
If you want to have similar look like Rachel Zoe then all you need is a curling iron, straightner and hairstyling products like gel and mousse. Try these hairstyles to create hot hair look thatâs curly and straight.
1. Long hair
If you have long hair that goes below the shoulder then the first thing you need to do is to get a straight cut for them. Avoid asymmetrical layers, but you can keep short hair in the front to look glamorous. Now, the next time you want Zoeâs look, then follow a steps. Firstly, apply mousse on damp hair. Part your hair in the middle. If you have a small, round face, then this hairstyle would look awesome on you. Use a large radial brush to smooth out curly textures. Now blow dry your hair. Initially blow- dry the back under by starting at the nape/back and curve the ends. Then blow dry the sides under. Now use a curling iron to create soft curls and add body to your hair. Remember, donât curl the ends. Simply curl the mid lengths once. Hold the hair for 5-10 seconds on the iron and then release. Now, apply a smoothing shine and run through the end. Donât use it if you have oily hair. Now end it with a hairspray!
2. Short Hair
If you have short hair or want to have a similar, sexy hairstyle in short hair then you must firstly get yourself an asymmetrical bob, wherein the back hair are shorter than the front. You can then keep your shorter section straight, while being creative with the front section. You can roll it, curl it or just keep your front hair plain wavy. All of these will look great. A heavier front will make your face look bold and more appealing. This simple hairstyle with jagged layers through the front will encourage movement and bounce.
For this hairstyle, follow the first simple steps of applying mousse, drying out the straights and sides. Now use a straightener to straighten hair on the back. If you want a wavy look, rather than straight or curls, then miss this step. Now use a curling iron. Create soft curls, hard curls or simple curls. You can be creative with it. Keep a middle parting and apply a hair spray. Donât apply a smoothing shine as it will make your hair look too oily. If you want, you can even keep them half wavy and half straight. Just straight them from above while at the end curl them with a curling iron.
3. Low fuss
You can go bold and try pixie cut. That would be easy to style and be non-fussy. You can then release the weight of the hair with the help of a straighter and lift the strands up. Use a gel to keep the style in shape. You may even forget using any hair styling equipment and just apply a little mousse to damp hair for that messy, wavy look. If you want curls on your pixie cut then simply use a curling iron. Your curls will appear more round than they do for longer hair. If you want a non-fussy look for longer hair, then apply mousse, part your hair on the right, just blow dry and apply hair shine. This is easy to do hairstyle and looks great on long, narrow faces.
