Recreate Amy Adams' gorgeous waves in American Hustle
There’s been a rise in 70s-inspired fashion trends taking over since the release of American Hustle, and why not finish that look with a glamorous makeover for the hair too.
As Amy Adams’ hair-evolution in American Hustle illustrated, a seventies-esque crowning glory has the ability to exude confidence and opulence combined with a casual edge.
Here’s how to do the hair hustle in style with these movie makeover tips courtesy of Ogario’s Creative Director, Norris Ogario.
Start with a good cut
This is the cornerstone of great styling and will make life much easier for you. Book a consultation with your hairdresser to discuss your lifestyle and hair needs. It is crucial hair is cut to enhance its natural texture, movement and fall. Both everyday styling and one-off glamorous looks like this become easier to manage. With a good cut, hair should be able to fall into place, quite effortlessly.
Follow with good prep
Make it your mission to moisturise twice a week with an intensive, deeply nourishing mask. This will inject hair with hydration but also help to protect it from the effects of heat styling.
Work with your waves
If you have natural waves work with their texture and movement. Hot rollers were popular in the seventies but curling tongs will also work to create Amy-worthy waves.
Tongs give greater control, offer a range of heat settings and allow you to choose where to add more bounce.
To copy Amy’s sexy waves, start by spraying damp hair with a volumising spray and blow dry it out.
After sectioning off your side parting, start wrapping 1-inch sections of the hair around the curling irons, starting from bottom to top working your way up. Leave to set and cool before ruffling the hair out with your finger tips and finish with some texture spray to give it a more modern-day feel.
If there’s a natural frizz, don’t fight it. A slightly untamed, textured finish adds an element of cool. You can also create this by teasing hair at the crown and backcombing close to the roots.
