If you thought Princess Leonor’s look was defined by pristine sleekness and soft waves, you were mistaken. Her latest public appearance left everyone wide-eyed. Wearing a striking red dress, the princess chose to wear her hair down with a texture and volume that shout the 80s. It’s the first time she publicly embraces this texture, and the result is modern, fresh, and highly flattering.
Goodbye to Extreme Sleekness: Leonor Embraces the Textured Hairstyle
This is the image of Princess Leonor that surprised everyone: with her long hair, but with a light, wavy texture, controlled frizz, and lots of volume, especially at the mid-lengths and ends. It moves away entirely from her usual, more polished and controlled style. This hairstyle, with a undone-but-polished vibe, is a strong trend that aims to embrace the hair’s natural texture and give it body and movement. The cut, with invisible layers, helps the texture shine without heaviness.
1980s Inspiration: Hair with Body and Movement
It isn’t exactly the extreme crimped (frizzy) look of the 80s, but Leonor’s hairstyle captures the decade’s essence: hair with volume, with body and with a visible texture that doesn’t aim for perfection. It’s a modern interpretation that aligns with the effortless trend, where the hair looks air-dried yet carries a clear styling intention. It moves away from the straightened look to give way to hair that’s livelier and full of personality.
Expert Tips to Achieve the Princess Leonor’s Volume
If you loved this new look on Princess Leonor and want to replicate it at home, it isn’t that hard. Here are some key tips to achieve that texture and volume, without needing to be a pro:
- Smart washing: Start by using a shampoo and conditioner that don’t weigh your hair down. Volumizing formulas are ideal for giving body from the roots.
- Volumizing mousse: While your hair is damp, apply a volume mousse at the roots and mid-lengths. This will help lift the hair and make the style last longer.
- Diffuser, your best friend: If you have wavy hair or natural frizz, use a diffuser with the head facing down to dry it. This will help define the waves and gain volume at the roots. Avoid using very hot air to prevent damage.
- Heat-free trick: If your hair is very straight and you want this texture, braid loose braids with damp hair and let them air dry. When you release them, you’ll have undone, natural waves.
- Texturizing spray: Once your hair is dry, apply a sea salt spray or a texturizing spray to the mid-lengths and ends. This will help separate the waves and give that 80s, undone look.
- A touch of blush: To complement this fresh look, don’t forget to apply a bit of blush to the cheeks to give that healthy, radiant glow that Leonor shows in the photo.
