Summer Hair Kate Moss Would Love
A ponytail for summer is far from revolutionary-neither, for that matter, is a bun. But we're always inspired when we see an updated version that somehow makes these classic hair-off-the-neck styles look fresh and sexy. Case in point: the pony/bun combo shown on Bumble and Bumble's press release for their limited-edition Bandball (literally, a ball of 100 overlapping hair elastics.) The look is grungy-cool, like something Kate Moss/Sienna Miller/Taylor Momsen would wear.

So, of course, we want it, too. Bumble and Bumble hairstylist Jimmy Paul gave me the exclusive how-to:
Start with dry (preferably day-old) hair, and apply Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray evenly from roots to ends to give hair fullness and a rope-y texture. "This style works particularly well with hair that has a bit of grit to it," he says.
Massage your roots with your fingertips to build some volume and a little roughness.
Scrape hair back with your fingers and loop it into a low, disheveled bun. Secure it with a brightly-colored elastic, letting the ends that naturally fall out sprout free. Then pull a few additional strands out of the loop for a little extra messiness.
