BACKSTAGE @ DIOR AW2016 : REDKEN

Hair Inspiration: Guido, REDKEN Global Creative Director
“This is an elegant, polished Dior woman but with a simple and young charm to her.”

Look: “The look has a bit of a nod to the 1920s but in an unconventional way, giving a more youthful feel to an ‘older’ hairstyle. The part is exaggerated and deep on one side; it’s not a classical part. A bun felt too matronly so instead, I created two small knots, almost like a double chignon. I used guts 10 to add volume to the roots and forceful 23 to hold the look in place.”Image-1

How-to:
Starting with damp hair, create a clean, deep side part on left side of head. Apply Redken Guts 10 volume spray foam to the hairline.

Blow dry hair straight using a round brush.

Create a clean middle section in the back and separate into two ponytails, one on either side of the head. Using fingers, comb through each ponytail to create a rich, easy look. Secure each ponytail with an elastic.

Twist each ponytail into a tight, low knot, ensuring they are symmetrical on both sides of the head and situated directly beneath the ear. Secure each knot with pins.Image-2

Spray Redken Forceful 23 super strength hairspray for lasting hold.

At the hairline on the right side, use a brush to gently loosen a small section of hair. Using fingers, push section backward to create slight lift and a matte, natural look.
