Little Mix hairstylist Aaron Carlo has helped us to find the ultimate simple and stunning style in the form of this gorgeous half-up, half-down twisted look. It's incredibly London-model-off-duty and can be recreated with little fuss (score!).

To create the look, Aaron first preps the hair to create the ideal amount of texture for the style. He applies the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Touchable Bounce Mousse as well as the TRESemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray, then roughly blow dries the hair to lock in the product.

Next, Aaron uses heated irons to create subtle waves and added texture into the model's locks. This is easy to do at home - just use your straighteners in a back-and-forth motion. To finish the preparation, Aaron uses Ouai Dry Shampoo on the crown of the hair.

Now it's time to style the look. First off, Aaron adds a small ponytail at the top of the crown. He then divides the ponytail at the top and loops the bottom through. To finish the style, he simply repeats this process underneath and adjusts the look to add an air of nonchalance.
