Color - Black with a honey blonde long layer

" I don't actually use a lot of product! I style it with heat and let it cool down to set it. Too many people think they need to style hair with product, and lots of it. For Taylor, I sometimes put a little Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray on the roots to give it a little lift, seal the ends with some silicone, and I might use some Elnett Hairspray to keep it all together."

The tools he uses - "blow-dryer, round brush, curling irons, wave iron, straightener, and hands."

He also says when you what a certain style : "bring pictures!! A picture says more than a two-hour conversation. That still doesn't make it a rocker haircut though. You need to style it as a rocker too."

For this up-do texture and volume at the back is required.  Leaving the front part of your hair and crown completely straight set to back-combing some volume and height into the back section of the crown.

A good trick for the back combing part is to get a thin head band and slide it on, pushing the hair back to where you want to start creating height from.

With the hair boosted, gather the hair at the back and pin into a low loose bun, making sure not to ruin the volume at the top.

There aren't many pictures of Heather at this event so it's unclear whether her braid is an add-in or real but you can get the look with the Sephora Collection Thick Braidie Headband ($10.00 at amazon and available in five different colors), using it to replace the head band if you decided to use one earlier in the earlier step.

Pin the braid into place with two criss-crossed hair pins on each side of the head, and finish with a good mist of hairspray.
