Swooning for these edgy, punk rock inspired hairstyles from the Met Gala 2013.  Here’s our roundup!

We think Sienna Miller reigned at the Punk themed Met Gala with her simple, effortless spiked head accessory and beachy, tousled waves. Getting this look is super easy and perfect for spring/summer 2013. Simply let hair dry naturally or blow dry 80% then spray blowpro beach blow at the ends to add texture and create a fun tousled look.

Inspired by the shaving trend, Cara Delevigne shows those of us who can’t quite commit to the deed how it’s done with a deep parted half updo. Use a soft pomade like blowpro’s mane tame to create the smooth side of this do.

The detail in Emily Rossum’s braided updo is incredible! Not to mention her flawless makeup! A look like this definitely requires a strong hold hair spray but one that can be easily brushed out after a night of punk festivities. Try blowpro’s after blow strong hold finishing spray.

Anne Hathaway embraced the classic punk pixie! Verdict: We do too! Add a small drop of weather girl anti-frizz serum to calm fly aways and boost shine!

Jennifer Lopez’s faux hawk is punk perfection. Add dimension and shine with time to shine 3D illuminating spray.

Queen of the Punk Gala. Nicole Richie mixes her simple elegance with a dash of edgy color and texture with this updo.

It’s Comeback Tuesdays, and sometimes the best retort is simply a hot hairstyle. Today, blow introduces the idea of hair candy. One of our boards on Pinterest is fully devoted to this topic, and is available for your viewing pleasure 24/7. Today’s inspiration is a 50s-esque scarf headband. It’s always fun and refreshing to twirl back in time with a classically beautiful hair style. Any scarf will do, but try to use one similar to silk so as to prevent static.

Wear one of these scarves with your hair up, down, half and half, whatever you prefer! If you’d like more of an undone look, pull some pieces out to frame the face, and be sure to use beach blow texturizing mist. Finish the look with weather girl to prevent flyaways.

Wear it super retro!

 Wear it Boho Chic like Nicole Richie
