During the holiday season, a boho inspired festive look that can go from day to night is the ace up every party girl’s sparkly bell sleeve. It’s not up, it’s not down, it’s both! Anna Peters, Sam Villa ArTeam Member, gives easy steps for a Bohemian festal creation that’s the perfect amount of everything merry.

The thought of fall conjures up comfy layered clothing and finally letting hair down from being tied up in summer pony tails, braids and buns. And this season, natural texture and curly locks have swept back into our hearts.

"More women are embracing the shag these days, because the new version is softer and adaptable to most hair lengths and textures,” says Jesse Linares, Sam Villa ArTeam. 

Dry shampoo is one of the hottest products on the market because it’s a time saver! It quickly restores freshness to hair without having to shampoo. But, it’s not a new phenomenon, throughout history powdered clay and milled starch were used to refresh, color & deodorize both hair and wigs. 

Move over lob, there’s a new ‘do in town and it epitomizes the effortless style women want. “This new shag is just as layer heavy and laid back as the shag of the past, but it has a much softer approach and can be adapted to more hair lengths,” says Andrew Carruthers, education director for Sam Villa.

With trends moving towards more natural and lived-in textures, even brides are going for looser looks. 

“When you’re precision cutting, you have to think much smaller in terms of tools, tension, elevation and sectioning to achieve the exactness it requires.  You have to take big ideas and break them down,” says Andrew Carruthers, Education Director for Sam Villa.
