Redken's Runway Report from Milan: PRADA with hair by Guido

The 1930s hairstyle at Prada’s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection was playful and fun.  Guido kept the hair close to the head in a high shine, high gloss texture with two playful knots – think mannequin-like hair with a lacquer finish, almost like it’s painted on.

“We wanted a carefree, youthful and fun look, but also have that high Prada glamour that represents the design house.  The two knots at the back of the head emphasize the playful girl yet the high gloss, shine and finger waves make it glamorous and impactful on the runway.” – Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Redken Products:

-          hardwear 16 super-strong sculpting gel

-          forceful 23 super strength finishing spray

-          glass 01 smoothing serum

Create the Look:

-          Create a deep side part, and apply Redken hardwear 16 super-strong sculpting gel in generous amounts to the entire head, smoothing the part over the side. 

-          Next, create finger waves on the forehead with a tail comb.

-          Divide the back of the head into two sections with a straight middle part and twist each one into a small knot at the base of the head about 2-3 inches apart, so you can still see a bit of the knots from the front.

-          Secure knots with pins and finish them with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray for hold.  To create the final touch, apply a generous amount of glass 01 smoothing serum all over for that wet, shiny, lacquered look!
