One of the big trends today on the NYC runways for Fall 2011 seems to be “next day”. Rather than having curls appear fresh, perfect and uniform without any strays or flyaway’s, it’s now all about hair looking slightly disheveled, “next day” or even like celebrity stylist Rodney Cutler so vividly described it, “hair that looks like you’ve been living in the woods for three days.”

“We’ve seen a definite shift in curl this season,” says Rebecca Minkoff lead hairstylist Ouidad. “We’re creating next day hair that’s soft, subtle with volume and movement like you just rolled out of bed. “

For the Nicolas K show celebrity Rodney Cutler easily created this “next day” texture by spritzing in Redken Nature Rescue and twisting the ends of the hair to create that “lived in”, “gritty”, “textured” look. “This type of hair is a perfect compliment to the very edgy, street fashion that K was showcasing.”

Ouidad simply scrunched in Ouidad PlayCurl Volumizing Foam, went back into the hair with a curling iron taking different size sections and wrapping it different ways around the barrel of the iron for variation in curl pattern.

“In seasons past, curls were uniform and perfectly kempt,” Ouidad explains, "whereas the curl we’re creating for this season’s shows is looser and natural meaning there’s variation, it’s imperfect and not over-done.”

This is great news for curly women out there that don’t have to spend hours trying to perfect their curl. "Next day" texture is low maintenance and easy to achieve so go ahead and spritz in some curl reviving spray, style with your hands and go, knowing that you’re totally on trend!
