Gypsy Look

This raw gypsy look scores big points for its laid back tousled feel. Start with extra volume mousse on towel-dried hair.Then blow dry hair without using a brush. For extra body and lift, use a crimping iron at the base of the hair shaft. Make sure you do this only on the bottom layers .

Next , curl random sections of hair with medium-barrel curling tongs. Run your fingers through the hair to mess up the curls. Rub a small amount of hair crème through your tresses to moisten the ends. Now create a low side part,  then twist and pin the hair closest to the forehead. Finish with some shine spray.

Right dress completes perfect Gypsy Look.
