The hair brief for Beach Brains’ NZFW show was inspired by the grimy rock scene in New York circa early 2000s. Modelled on androgynous hair heroes like Hedi Slimane, this look is an ode to the unwashed icons whose hair was dishevelled, chaotic and a little bit salty.
Want to achieve the rock star fantasy at home? Here's everything you will need:
- Davines More Inside Volumising Mousse
- Davines More Inside Sea Salt Spray
- Davines More Inside Texturising Spray
- Y.S. Park Big Wide Tooth Comb
- GHD Chronos Classic Curl Tong

STEP 1: COMB & BLOW
Comb a generous dose of Davines More Inside Volumising Mousse through the hair. Create a sharp centre part and roughly blow-dry the mousse in to build texture and root lift.
STEP 2: CURL
Spritz Davines More Inside Salt Spray through the midlengths of hair. Starting at the nape, take messy sections around an inch or two in size, wrap the roots at a left diagonal around a curling tong. Withdraw the tong, then wrap the midlengths around it at a right diagonal. Repeat down to the ends of the section alternation left and right diagonals, until all the hair is set.

STEP 2: FINISH
Use your fingertips to break up the waves, flip your head over and use half a can of Davines Texturising Spray to set that texture forever. Slip a small amount of oil over the hair to achieve a few pops of shine.
PRO TIP– Use a straightening iron to take the wave out of the ends to look more grunge.
