Step 1: Prep hair with Aveda Phomollient™ Styling Foam to add body, volume, and shine.
Step 2: Brush hair through and create a deep side part.
Step 3: Divide hair into three sections: bottom, sides/top and middle, and secure in place with hair clips. Spray each section generously with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for shine and hold.

Step 4: Starting with the nape of the neck, curl small sections of hair using a 1 inch barrel curling iron. Once curled, roll each piece into a loop using your index finger, and hold in place with a single-pronged hair clip. Continue curling hair, working around the sides toward the top of the head, leaving a one inch piece of hair untouched. Spray each curl with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for added hold.
Step 5: Curl the one inch piece of hair forward and secure with a single-pronged hair clip to allow the hair to cool.

Step 6: With the exception of the front curl, remove all hair clips and brush curls through to create soft, full waves.
Step 7: Rub Aveda Light Elements™ Shaping Wax between palms and smooth over the top of hair to reduce flyaways and add shine. Hair is now smooth from crown to cheekbones becoming full, loose curls.

Step 8: Remove clip from top curl and twist slightly to create volume and lift in front. Secure hair in place with two small hair pins, and then pull back with a larger barrette that matches hair color. Spray Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray directly on the lifted section of hair to add volume and hold.
Step 9: Finish the look with a final misting of Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray.

"I call this chic-bohemian look ‘the wave,’" says Odile. "Patrick was inspired by a photograph taken in the Krazy Kat Club in the 1920’s, where the girls embodied a 'wholesome Bohemia' full of enthusiasm and creative spirit. We worked together to translate this inspiration into a look for the seductive, modern girl who attends private speakeasies. She is distinctive, intellectual, and very pretty—yet fun-loving and young."
Odile Gilbert’s Lush, Bohemian Curls
Here’s a modern, playful take on Boho-chic, courtesy of Odile Gilbert for Aveda at the John Patrick Organic show during Fashion Week. The hair is smooth on top with soft, free-flowing curls below the cheekbone and volume at the front. A barette gives the look a sweet, girly touch.
