The no make-up look is our daily MO. Why? Because it takes minimal time and it looks good.  Tinted moisturiser, touch of concealer around the nose and under the eyes, light coating of mascara top and bottom and we’re done.  Most days.

Hair is a different story. Achieving the kind of worn in, day after look can often involve multiple products, including but not limited to a hair dryer, dry shampoo, texturising spray, sea salt spray, potentially a volume mousse, or if you’re really committed, sleeping in damp braids the night before.

So recently, when we spotted Dakota Fanning in NYC looking totally grunge, chanelling Courtney Love in the 90s, all bleached don’t care hair, we wanted to re-create it. Because man, it’s the ultimate. Once you’ve created it, it should last for days.

Click through to see how it’s done.

First, we spritzed Wella Ocean Spritz through damp hair (roots to mid lengths) to create that second day grunge texture.

Then, we blow dried it into the hair without stretching the natural texture out.

Depending on the type of hair, our model had straight so we used a curling wand through roots to mid lengths only (don’t get freaked out…we used it very haphazardly), and then we used our GHD to flatten any curl or wave out. The look we’re trying to achieve here is stringy straight.

 

To complete it, we then used Wella Bold move texturising paste on the ends to create that separated grungy texture. 

The beauty of this look? It lasts for days. To make it last 5 days or more, use dry shampoo on the roots and a bit on the ends every few days.

And presto! You’re done.
