Tousled Hair: Inspired by Burberry and Gucci

Between Burberry's Tousled Flowing Style and Gucci's Half Up Twist, you will have a style that is perfect for any occasion and any season. Whether you have a work Holiday party approaching and prefer more of the "I didn't really try (but I really did)" look, or you're tired of wearing your hair down-straight and are looking to spice it up: either one of these dreamy, deliberately disheveled looks should do the trick.

First we'll take a look at Burberry's Tousled Flowing locks:

The style is nice (great for inspiration), but we prefer a little more "umph" in our styles at La Bella.






We LOVE celeb references, it seems their hair is always on point.

Who doesn't love Julia Roberts? This is a beautiful display of that sexy, not overdone tousled wave perfect for anyone.







Reese Witherspoon is looking absolutely breath taking with a little more separation in her waves yet still stunning and red carpet worthy.

Tip #1: First you need product to create some thickness and texture in the hair. We recommend pairing Unite's 7 Seconds condition and Boosta Spray into the hair from root to ends. Dry the product into hair, using your hands to scrunch and diffuse, for maximum texture. 
Tip #2: When going to curl your hair, don't put too much thought into it (the point is imperfection is perfect) So grab one random chunk at a time and wrap the hair around the barrel without clamping. We recommend using the Keratin Complex 5 in 1 Curling System, which offers a variety on curl shape and size with only having to use one tool! The barrels are detachable and range from tighter curl to looser waves, but guarantees the "Celebrity Curl". (We do sell the 5 in 1 Curling System at La Bella
Tip #3: Finish with a pea sized amount of Unite's Second Day Cream from mid strand to ends to create more of the separated finished look.

Gucci's Half Up Twist is remarkably similar, what's the difference? Two pieces from the front are twisted  and pinned back....easy enough, right? Before we get into how to transition from Burberry to Gucci, let's take a look at what lady celebs are rocking this boho-chic look.

<Vanessa Hudgens brings this effortless style to life, bringing glam to the beach with a looser twisted look.<
>Jessica Alba made her half up style debut on the red carpet, with a tighter twisted style.>
                                                                
Tip #4: Take two small sections of hair that frame your face, from either side of the part, and pull them backwards towards the crown of the head.
Individually, twist the two sections, and pin them against the back of the head. The Flower Hairclips (sold at La Bella) paired with a single bobby pin would be perfectly adorbs and sufficient to hold the hair in place. Of course, you could double up bobby pins or use a hair clip of your choice. We are just loving the Flower Clips for any look you may be going for.

We hope that you can find the right look for you this Holiday Season and can translate the style into an everyday, every season look. Happy Styling!
