How To: Boho Braids

Try Nicole Richie's delicate braids for a feminine, bohemian look!

Step 1: Blow-dry hair straight to make it easier to braid. Part hair in the center.

Step 2: Separate out a one-inch section on both sides of part — two inches back from the hairline. Take a two-inch piece above each ear, and clip out of the way. Pull the rest of hair into a low bun. Bobby-pin it against the nape of neck, and tuck in the ends.

Step 3: Braid each of the top sections down; pin the ends into your bun. Then braid the side sections over the top of your head. Pin the ends against your head, and smooth with pomade.

Get the Look: Orlando Bloom

Oribe styled Orlando Bloom for a Hugo Boss ad campaign! “The whole idea of the shoot was about Orlando Bloom being Orlando Bloom…undone and sexy, in a style that suits his personality and his mood,” says Oribe. “Orlando has naturally great hair, so I wanted to use products that added texture without looking greasy. This is an easy look that shouldn’t feel too prepared.”

To get the look:
1. Spray Oribe Foundation Mist lightly all over to add nutrients and moisture to the hair. This also preps the hair for styling.
2. Rub Oribe Rough Luxury Molding Wax together in your hands, and use it to clump any natural curls. Then, let the hair be…don’t over think it or spend too much time trying to get the hair perfect.

How To: Beachy Waves

It's almost summer, and sporting beach looks are near…

Below is a step-by-step guide to creating sexy beach waves at home.

You'll need:

-1" to 1 ¼" barrel curling iron

-A volumizing gel or spray—such as Volumista by Oribe

-A light hold hairpray—like Soft Lacquer, a heat activated setting spray by Oribe

Here's How:

1. Turn upside down and spray freshly washed (towel-dried) hair with volumizing spray.
2. If hair is naturally coarse or curly, work a straightening balm through hair. 
3. Brush hair (this works the product evenly through hair). Blowdry hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume (cold air locks in a style).
4. Separate hair into three sections, securing with a ponytail holder. (It's easier this way to curl your way through each section).
5. To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Starting with one section, take a 1-inch portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray or hairspray. Wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. (Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to 'clip' hair into the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root). When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark.
6. Release the curl after about 5-10 seconds (hold longer if you want a tighter curl). You should have a corkscrew curl.
7. Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. (It's all in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping around, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around). Alternating directions makes curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose.
8. Remove nozzle from dryer and gently loosen waves with cool air. You can also separate curls with your fingers, just make sure not to brush them out. 
9. Set with hairspray. Just don't overdo it. You don't want new waves to feel "crunchy."
