Redken's Runway Report from Milan - Prada with hair by Guido


At today’s Prada Fall/Winter 2010 runway show in Milan, Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a 60s inspired lacquered voluminous egg-shaped chignon.  “The look at Prada was all about classic French hairdressing done with a very chic uptown look with a nod to the 60s – a modern take on a classic, sophisticated look.” – Guido, Redken Creative Consultant (below)
 Products:
  • thickening lotion 06 body builder
  • hardwear 16 super strong gel
  • forceful 23 super strength finishing spray

Create the Look:
1-       Section hair into two sections by a horizontal part at ear height.
2-       Clip top portion aside and blow dry in thickening lotion 06 body builder into bottom half of hair for volume and secure into a ponytail.  Slide a donut over this ponytail and secure pieces around to cover entire donut.
3-       Take top portion that was clipped off and blow dry in thickening lotion 06 body builder through top section and then backcomb to create textured volume.
4-       Smooth hardwear 16 super strong gel into hair to pull top section smoothly and perfectly over donut portion and secure at nape of neck.
5-       Create that lacquer look by applying heavy layers of forceful 23 super strength finishing spray directly to chignon and sides to secure with ultimate hold.
