Redken's Runway Hair Report from Paris: Louis Vuitton & Miu Miu
To wrap up Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010, Guido, Redken Creative Consultant ended with a bang of ponytails at the Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu shows in Paris. See below for the must-have products and inspiration!
LOUIS VUITTON
Guido created the perfect classic ponytail with curls at the ends and a piece of hair wrapped around the elastic. “We wanted to create a retro ponytail to complement the 1950s feel of the clothes.” -Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Products:
- Redken Style Connection velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow dry gel
- Redken glass 01 smoothing serum
Create the look:
- Apply velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow dry gel to damp hair with a round brush
- Pin hair into rolls and let cool.
- Pull hair into a smooth ponytail right (no part) below the occipital bone and secure with an elastic
- Wrap a piece of hair around the elastic and secure underneath the ponytail with bobby pins to conceal the elastic.
- Around the hairline, apply glass 01 smoothing serum and make sure all baby hairs are down for a smooth, sleek look.
MIU MIU
The look at Miu Miu was a sleek, straight mid-back length ponytail. Each model had either black, platinum or red extension wrapped around the ponytail to off-set the natural hair color. “The colorful extensions added a futuristic feel, a very ‘Manga Doll’ look.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Products:
- Redken hardwear 16 super strong gel
- Redken iron silk 07 ultra straightening spray
- Redken forceful 23 super strength finishing spray
Create the look:
1. Comb all hair back and pull into a ponytail right above the occipital bone, secure with an elastic.
2. Apply hardwear 16 super strong gel to ensure the sides of the head are slick with no fly-aways
3. Wrap a hair extension around the ponytail (either a red, black or platinum extension)
4. Apply iron silk 07 ultra straightening spray to the ponytail and flat iron so it’s completely straight
5. Wrap a small piece of a hair around the elastic to cover
6. Finish with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray for hold
