“Soft, static, light.” These were the verbal cues Phillip Lim gave hairstylist Paul Hanlon backstage at his spring 2015 show today. They also happened to provide the perfect inspiration for a sweater weather hair solution that will serve you well in the coming months. Hanlon’s “punky,” deconstructed chignons seemed destined to look that much better after pulling a favorite cashmere-blended wool knit over your head—boasting a halo of “bits” that were deliberately left out as flyaways following a serious back-combed crimping effort. “There’s a reality to it,” Hanlon explained of the fuzzy effect in between mists of TRESemmé dry shampoo. Do try this one at home.
