Techniques: Braids, Curl Sets & Crimper Tools → Disco Texture
We spotted disco texture—crimped waves falling off a strong center part and expanding into a dramatic triangular silhouette—everywhere this season at New York Fashion Week. BTC was backstage to see (and share) what really goes into prepping these high-volume, dance floor curls from lead stylists. Think braids, curl sets and a crimper revival!
Scroll to see everything from the cool-girl version of wearable waves to the avant-garde, then get the products and techniques you need to catch disco fever.
