HAIR with Bumble & bumble


Who better to support the Broadway revival of HAIR than a hair products line ? Bumble & bumble have been the official haircare for HAIR since it ran last summer and now as it begins Tony Nominated Broadway run.

There's definitely plenty of hair on these characters and many great songs that have stood the test of time like " Age of Aquarius".

If you're wanting some free and easy Summer of Love style hair , here are some tips from Bumble and bumble editorial hairstylist Rolando Beauchamp:

For wavy or curly hair:
The key is keeping the hair’s natural texture, just helping it out with some product that gives it some support. Spritz Bb Surf Spray ($22) onto damp hair, and work about a quarter size amount of Bb Styling Creme ($23) into hair, mid-shaft to ends. The combination of Surf Spray and Styling Creme gives the right texture – a bit dry, not greasy. Dry with a diffuser or let air dry if it is warm out. The key is not to brush or comb out, just finger style and let it be free!


For straight hair:
Begin just like curly/wavy technique with Bb. Surf Spray and Styling Creme, but you’ll need at waves to the hair. Using a 1 inch barrel curling iron, take 1 inch diameter sections of hair and roughly wrap the hair around the iron. The goal is to create bends and waves in the hair, not perfect curls. Then scrunch the section up and pin to the head. Continue curling sections, wrapping the hair in alternating directions, then scrunching and pinning the sections until the entire head is pinned up. Let the hair set for a few minutes, then undo sections. Don’t brush the sections out, just finger style.
