Pair it with a cozy turtleneck or elevate your dress – a full bun is a great hairstyle to add a little drama to any look. Plus, with a few extra details, it gives you the ability to accentuate your face frame or even some fun earrings and accessories! To break down the look, we’re chatting with Ellen Devine, Sam Villa ArTeam, and Master Stylist at Lunatic Fringe @Ellendevinehair who is giving her top tips.

We never thought it went away, but according to Byrdie, crimping is back! Just ask style icons Beyoncé, KK, Keke Palmer and Saweetie who are all fans. The trend is ideal for anyone who likes volume, big braids and cool texture. What sets this comeback apart is the variety of tools available, with a diverse range of irons delivering unique texture.  Sam Villa, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer for Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken, breaks down three types of Sam Villa texture irons, how to use them and the results they deliver.

Hairdressers use very specific areas of their bodies – fingers, hands, wrists, elbows – replicating the same movement over and over, day after day.  When that movement includes reaching the thumb back towards the ring finger, the thumb tendon is compromised with stress and inflammation.  And if the elbow is held high to cut, it puts pressure on the neck and elbows.  It all equals PAIN.  Sam Villa, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken was also having pain in his hands, so he consulted with a doctor to design shears that actually feel good in the hand and reduce and eliminate pain.
