Bed Heads and Blow Outs

by Elsa Termenon on May 20, 2011

One of these sunny days in Spain, while sipping on a café con leche at a small café on a pedestrian street, I came to realize something. Spanish women love the bed head hairstyle. Everywhere I looked around me there were these girls looking like they’d just made it out of bed with their locks in a big sexy mess. Here in the States, it seems like if women could have their hair perfectly blown out on a hair salon every day, they would for sure do so. The more styled to perfection – the better, it seems.

I am a person who even thinks washing my hair is a pain in the butt, let alone styling it, so most of the times I feel like the hippie surrounded by perfect hairdos. That’s why I was very inspired by the hairstyles I saw this time in Spain… It’s just so much closer to what I like and find a realistic amount of time to spend on my hair every day. Penelope Cruz must be the Spanish queen of bed heads, don’t you think? She’s also one of my favorite actresses (I loved her in Almodovar’s Volver!).

Do you like the bed head style? How much time to you spend on styling your hair o a day-to-day basis?

     Mitt hår är väl egentligen alltid så…speciellt nu sen hårfönen brann upp (vilket var lika bra). Dock blir det aldrig samma effekt för mig eftersom jag har så tunt och fint/rakt hår. Men jag sätter alltid upp det lite slarvigt, det passar mig bäst…några minuter max tar det. Ska jag göra något särskilt så kanske jag drar fram volymtången…men det var längesen nu.

     yes i do! but it is a lot harder than it looks like! you have to keep it really messy! when i did this look myself (years ago). it fell flat on my head and messy at the bottom. not really pretty. you have gorgeous strong tick hair, so i don’t know if it would work! i love love love your hair because it looks so incredible

    I’m blessed. Naturligt lockigt betyder att jag oftast inte behöver göra ngt.. Sätter upp det i en tofs om jag vill ha lite mer glamourlook ( typ plattare upp till med lockar nedtill) eller fingertvinnar blöta hårtestar lite extra för att få extra definierade lockar. Vill jag göra mer avancerade frillor så plattar jag, men det är sällan.. Ibland flätar jag något eller drar på hårband. Eller använder en apbra plastgrej för hjälp till stora
    Hårknutar!

    Could Penelopes hair look any better…wow I love the b&w pic. I go in stages of wanting to be neat then just letting it go!
