09/07/2021
Those little waves in a zig-zag shape are back in our lives once more. Considered the coolest way to keep frizz at bay, it’s the ideal look for the festival season. Want us to show you how to wear it?
Who, when they were younger, didn’t use a crimping iron to rock some zig-zag waves? The zig-zag trend, so popular in the 80s and 90s is back, and with a bang. We’re in the middle of crimp-curl fever!
If you’ve never heard about crimped hair, also known as deep waves, then let us tell you now. They’re small zig-zag shaped kinks created using a special hot tool. As we’ve already mentioned, it looks set to be the coolest hairstyle of the summer, as it makes the ideal alternative to combat frizz and control those wild little top hairs. It’ll not only keep your style under control but it’ll also control the volume produced by humidity.
Although in 2015 it enjoyed a brief comeback, lately we’ve seen it paraded down many red carpets. That shows us just how versatile it can be. There are a myriad of personalization options; from the more extreme, to a gentle hint of crimping. Let’s have a look at the ideas we have at our fingertips for crimped hair!
Lily Collins and her half up half down do
One of the first celebrities we saw with the zig-zag waves was Lily Collins at the premiere of her latest movie, in the month of april. In this case, the actress chose a half up half down do tied in a low ponytail, with the upper area very smooth and slick, in contrast with the ponytail with its ‘undone’ and slightly backcombed, loose waves. The end result was a mixture of volume and texture that worked really well together.
Halsey and the strength of her huge hair
The singer left us open-mouthed just one month later when she showed off a wild-looking mane on the MET gala red carpet. Instead of fighting the frizz, she embraced it and made it the pivotal point of her look. The celebrity choose to crimp the upper part of her hair and gently backcomb the ends of her long locks to generate added volume.
The glamour of Joan Smalls
The Puerto Rican top model choose a looser and more natural version of the crimped curl and combined it with a side part which gave the look that Hollywood glamour edge that we just love.
So now you’ve seen the evidence that the crimped look is back, will you be trying out the trend?
