· Height = intention. High for a lifted effect and a more ‘sport-chic’ silhouette. Low for a more ‘quiet luxury’ finish.
· Sleek vs. wavy. Sleek = editorial finish. Wavy = soft, lived-in finish. Both are trendy; it’s just a vibe choice.
· Accessory = signature. A good accessory does 90% of the work: velvet scrunchie, tortoiseshell clip, cuff, hair clips…
· Hold that lasts. Double elastic (or an elastic + a clip), plus a light mist of spray on the lengths to avoid a ‘limp’ finish.
