BEATS TAPS CELEB HAIRSTYLIST RIAWNA CAPRI FOR “HEADPHONE HAIR”

/

Beats by Dr. Dre has partnered with celebrity hairstylist Riawna Capri to create a series of “Headphone Hair” looks – hairstyles that tap into the multi-functional nature of your earphones just in time for the holiday travel season. 

Capri, best known for being the mastermind behind Jennifer Lawrence’s famous pixie cut and Julianne Hough’s signature short crop, co-owns the 901 Salon on Melrose in Los Angeles, CA, and is the go-to hair guru for many top Hollywood stars including Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele and Nina Dobrev. 

Capri set out to develop the hairstyles looks, inspired by beauty and celebrity hairstyle trends, by utilizing the new premium wireless earphone collection from Beats By Dre as tools to obtain the desired styles. 

In anticipation of the busy travel season Riawna developed “The Jet Set” hairstyling technique for girls on the go: a hairstyle for busy holiday travelers who want to avoid having flat, messy hair after a day on the road or in-flight.

The Jet Set technique, inspired by loose knots with a modern twist, is easily achieved by calling upon the Beats Solo3 Wireless ($299.95 apple.com) headphones which utilized as a tool while on-route to ‘set’ your hair so that once you arrive you have beautiful, voluminous cascading waves--perfect for greeting family members, unexpected airport paparazzi or heading directly to an event.

“No one needs to spend a lot of time on their hair as long as you have the right tips and tricks to do it at home,” says Riawna, “and that’s what we had in mind when making each Headphone Hair look.”
