‘Indie sleaze waves’ is the only Noughties hairstyle you’ll be rocking this spring

Michael prefers a more organic route, preferring to “apply a texture spray such as Aveda’s Texture Tonic and a pump of Nutriplenish Multi-Use Hair Oil to damp hair before rough drying it with a hairdryer until it is about 70% dry.” He then recommends separating your hair into three sections that are roughly the same size. 

“Loosely twist each section before plaiting and leave them to dry, either overnight or by applying warm air directly into the braid,” Michael advises. “Once dry, undo the plait, but don’t brush out or rake your hands through it too much. Just go about your day and let it evolve into your very own sleazy look.”

Then turn up the Arctic Monkeys, slip on your converse and dance towards the brightest lights you can see.
