Why a Rainstorm Is the Best Thing That Will Happen to Your Hair This Week

 

While New York’s unseasonably high temperatures and stifling humidity were the perfect complement to the frizzy curls that dominated both the street and the runways last week, London, with its gray skies and constant threat of downpours, similarly lends itself to another growing beauty trend: wet, slicked-back hair. And this week, a slew of designers picked up on the connection, offering up rain-inspired beauty looks as practical as they were striking.

First to take the stage was Markus Lupfer, where models’ combed-back hair unraveled into wavy disarray—very likely the exact effect that London’s weather will wreak upon editors this week. At Simone Rocha, James Pecis tightly plaited pre-soaked locks, letting stray strands lie plastered against the face, as if the models had been momentarily caught in a rainstorm before parading down the catwalk. The trend continued at Versus Versace, where runway regulars like Bella Hadid stomped around the basement of the University of Westminster in combat boots and leather jackets, their damp, grungy lengths complementing their biker-chic vêtements. And just this morning, Christopher Kane, who included protective rain bonnets in his Fall 2016 collection, offered up glistening side-swept coifs that implied his models had chosen to brave the elements this time around. As New York enjoys its own September shower, one word of advice: If you’re looking to give the trend a go, Mother Nature is on your side.
