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!
