How to get the Perfect Bed Hair - Part 1

You only have to look at Kate Moss to see how cool bed hair can look. Amazingly, even Jennifer Lopez can pull off the look, though she and Moss are clearly not in the same league.

To help you get the best possible bed hair, we've stayed in bed as much as possible over the past week (all in the name of fashion of course). And what did we learn from our sleeping around? That there are far easier ways to get bed hair without spending a few hours rolling around in the sack.

To help us in our quest, we turned to many of the fashionisers working within the industry for their tips and secrets, and thanks to an overwhelming response we've received many fantastic suggestions. So what to do with them all? Well if you've subscribed to Fashionising's newsletter you'd know we're now starting Seven Days of Bed Hair.

Today's Tips - Day One

* Wash your hair out with shampoo but don't condition.
* Dry it, then add some volume using a good hair spray.
* Don't over-brush it.
* Apply thick hair wax near the scalp.

If this method doesn't hold for you try;

* Not washing it for two days.
* Blow wave
* Tease
* Apply hair spray.

Thanks to Merton and Yokie for their suggestions. Merton is a freelance make-up and body artist based in Melbourne. Yokie works for Giorgio Armani cosmetics.
