Helena Christensen's Boden hair

Does anyone have this style?

If so, does it take a lot of styling to get it looking dishevelled but lovely at the same time?

I booked an impulse haircut for next week and wondering whether to go for it. I have fine hair but lots of it and it's kind of wavy but in a crap, frizzy way rather than cool and dishevelled.

Also my styling routine is: wash hair, leave to dry, brush...

Right, just got home from the salon and I think I like it! Hairdresser said I actually have quite thick hair and even though he took 3/4 inches off I feel like I've got twice as much hair!

He said to use mousse, then argan oil and rough dry until 80% dry, then use a round brush to blow the ends under, as when it hits your shoulders it'll flick out anyway. Then just use wax or sea salt spray to put some texture into the ends.

He did say that I can do my usual leaving it to dry overnight and scrunch it with sea salt spray in the morning. Plus it'll tie back if I need it to!

This is what I am aiming for.

When I went to the hairdressers they instead gave me a fucking graduated bob, the utter utter swines. Fringe about 2 inches above my eyebrows, to long straight bits right at the front and a sort of layered short wedge at the back. What I did to deserve that I don't know Sad

I already had very similar hair but got my hairdresser to give me a 'Helena' fringe last night and it looks great Grin should have done it years ago, very very chuffed.

:( Jodie. It will be a Helena in a few weeks, don't worry! Sounds like your hairdresser is stuck in Victoria Beckham circa 5 years ago mode.

Ok so since getting back it's settled into more of a Hillary Clinton but some sea salt spray seems to have helped a bit!

went to look at Boden website on the strength of the pics in the paper but was relieved to find that all was just as last time I looked and I felt no urge to spend. Her hair is fab and she makes the clothes look amazing.
Jodie, we feel your pain... I bet they didn't even look like Warren Beattie ( certified old person, ref to Shampoo). Eat protein, find a new hairdresser, Cameron at Charlie Miller's in Edinburgh is good and does an excellent ego massage.
