Obviously none of the hair looks pictured above come even close to being achieved effortlessly, but the fact that a mix of textures were used does give them a nice easy-breezy feel! This look works great especially if your hair is long (at least long enough to put up in a ponytail). I spoke with Anthony Campbell, a Redken Session Stylist, to get some specific tips on how best to achieve the mixed texture look. Jump for more!

Campbell says -- "I think a good way to get duel textures for styles is doing a clean look in the front and messy in the back or vice versa. I have always been a fan of a slick front pulled back into a messy bun."

To achieve this look:
  • Bring your hair back into a clean ponytail using a flat brush and a hair tie, you can secure fly-aways with Redken workforce 09 flexible volumizing spray.
  • Then take the ponytail and spray with Redken fabricate 03 heat-active texturizer and hit the tail with a blow dryer on a low setting with medium heat and cup the hair to give it texture.
  • Lastly, take the textured ponytail and lightly twist it up into a bun. Take large size hairpins and put in about 4 or 5 depending in hair density.
Another way to achieve the look, Campbell says, is "to have a loose ponytail with a bit of flyaways, and then braid the ponytail with a 3-strand braid. The way to do this is make a loose ponytail with hair tie and then spray very lightly with Redken's Urban Experiment Wool Shake, and then lightly rub the front and back of the ponytail to create unintentional-looking fly-aways. Then braid the hair in a 3 strand braid and away you go, it looks like it was done effortlessly."
