Modern + retro = gorgeous hair

At Erin Fetherston there were four different spins on ’60s-inspired hair. A French twist, a volumized ponytail, a side ponytail, and a high bun — which was my favorite.

The key to making all of these classic hairstyles modern is to use your fingers instead of a brush to pull your hair up and/or back, says Esther Langham for Alterna Bamboo, who created these looks. She says to start with lots of mousse, like Alterna Bamboo Whipped Mousse, $22, to create texture, then do a rough blow dry. Tease your hair if needed, then use your fingers to pull your hair into any of the four styles.
