Pixie Lott’s 40s waves

Pixie Lott may have lost out at Tuesday night’s (16.02.1) BRIT Awards but she was definitely a winner in the style stakes.
While the 19-year-old singer looked sensational in a black lacy dress, complete with black tights and shoes, it was her hairstyle which had everyone talking. Her long blonde locks fell in 1940s inspired waves over her shoulder, which complemented her outfit and red lipstick beautifully.
The ‘Mama Do’ hitmaker’s tresses were styled by current British Hairdresser of the Year Akin Konizi and he has given advice on how to recreate the look.
Akin – the Creative Director for award-winning hairdressing group HOB Salons – said: ‘To recreate this look firstly apply a generous spritz of High Hair Designer Spray 200ml by Wella Professionals to towel dried hair. Once rough dried, I used a finger waving technique at the roots, setting the ends. However, to achieve this look yourself at home, divide hair into 2 inch long by 1 inch wide sections and vertically tong the hair, making sure that all sections are styled in the same direction.
‘Once all the hair has been worked through, don’t be afraid to brush through and let the waves settle in, applying a serum based product such as High Hair Pure Glamour 75ml into your hands and gently run through the hair to eliminate any flyaway hairs and add a glass-like sheen. Finish with Shaper Fierce 400ml by Sebastian Professional for hold.’
