Fatou, 24: “The quiff: my retro-rock hair style”

Your style? Without hesitation: retro! I love scouring second-hand shops and vintage boutiques to dig out original pieces from another era.  It doesn’t stop me mixing these clothes with more modern items to complete the look. The trend continues with my make-up as well as my clothes – it’s all retro! I particularly like colours that stand out and masculine shoes like moccasins or brogues.
 
Your hair style? It’s taken me a long time to “find myself”, in terms of my hair! I have naturally curly hair that I always saw as an obstacle to my teenage dreams of straight hair. But over time, my personality and my style have found their feet and my aspirations have started to match up with reality. I like having my hair up in simple but sophisticated styles. I like my hair to have a bit of structure whilst showing off the good aspects of my face.
 
Your style today? At the moment, I’ve got a weakness for a quiff. There’s no need to do the XXL version though to get the same effect. I take a large section of hair from the front of my head and then twist it a bit before fixing it at the back with grips. On the rare occasion that my hair is lacking volume, I apply a styling mousse and backcomb it a bit to give that extra va-va-voom.
