There’s been a heated internal beauty debate going in my head since first seeing crimped hair again in a major way on the February runways.
I’ve gone back and forth between swearing I would never ever do this to myself again and thinking that maybe I could pull it off. Besides, while I suck at straightening my hair, this is a lot more foolproof.
This afternoon I finally got to dive into the September issue of Vogue Paris. Along with the Sasha P./Liza editorial below, I’ve now fixated on two shots of Julia Stegner, in all her crimped glory from the beauty pages.
Now I’m 100% going to Target this weekend to pick up a new crimping iron. Of course I don’t have the genius Laurent Phillipon on hand to perfect my mane, but I am thinking this could be another helpful tool to have in the arsenal for the seemingly neverending battle of growing out my bangs.
Oh, the things you and your magazine can convince me to do, Carine.

please don’t!
YES!
I fell in love with that look too, from several crazy-gorgeous do’s in ads from FW09 and some backstage shots (Prada, oh me oh my!). Don’t do what I did, however. I went to Ulta looking for a crimper, and I got sidetracked by one of those double-barrel jobbies. Turns out they’re perfect for replicating an 80′s perm….not chic in any way shape or form. I should’ve stuck to my guns and gotten the $9 old-school crimper. I have long, fine hair, and I was planning to do the crimped, teased, giant-thick ponytail. My quest is not over.
Would you put up a picture of it?
Please dont! Please please please.
This, plus Jane’s use of a crimper on Sea of Shoes, has made me rethink my aversion to crimped hair. Then again, I think it really depends on the person…
Do it and make it look big. The crazier the better.
Regardless if it’s in Vogue or not, I still think the crimped hair looks incredibly outdated. Not classic but outdated. Sad but true.

Oh, no! I think a crimping iron is one of those things you’ll use once, realize wasn’t such a good idea (not everything translates so well into real life from fashion spreads), and then it will sit in the basket at the bottom of your closet for eternity collecting dust bunnies. To actually get your money’s worth out of the thing you’d have to go as Daryl-Hannah-In-”Splash” or Lea-Thompson-In-”Howard-The-Duck” every Halloween for the rest of your life.
