QUOTE: Orlando Pita On Summer Hair

“In the summer, hair has to be controlled a little bit, especially if somebody has frizzy hair or if their hair goes flat in the humidity. I like the half-up, half-down look–it helps control your hair and at the same time keeps it looking young and modern. We still keep seeing long hair as a trend at the shows, so it’s not time to whack your hair off yet! There are a lot of different options for putting your hair up. You can either use an accessory or you can use your own hair and braid it into a cornrow in the front or do a little twist. It’s also a great way to wear your hair if you’re trying to grow your bangs out!”

Want To Be Hardcore? Go Straight-Edge!

Want To Be Hardcore? Go Straight Edge!

Although I can certainly live without the Doo.Ri Spring 2009 collection, I’m pretty fond of the season’s hairstylist, Orlando Pita’s, hair aesthetic. To compliment the flowing garments, Pita wanted flowing hair as well, but hair with a toughness to it. To achieve this, Pita chose the always simple but oh, so edgy, slightly messy, poker straight hair: “It’s straight because straight hair always tends to look more hard-edge; wavy hair is more romantic and soft.”

Maybe I’m impartial to this look because my hair has been long, poker straight and slightly messy for as long as I can remember, but it can definitely be a fierce look. The hard, straight edges, in addition to the sleek length, make for a simple, but mesmerizing style. Though I’m long overdue for a change, I love wearing my hair like this because hey, it’s simple, it looks good with practically any outfit and it has a sexy, natural movement to it. Looks like I’m keeping it afterall!

 

Thanks Elle and NY Mag!
