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

Inspired by a 1970s hippie girl in Los Angeles, that hung out with rockstars, Guido created long, stick straight hair with a center part for Roberto Cavalli’s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection which also marked the design house’s 40th Anniversary.

"This is Roberto Cavalli's 40th anniversary in the business, so it’s a big show for him and likewise, for the hair.  The Collection has a 1970s feel to reference Cavalli's start in Fashion in 1970, so we came up with a retro style for the hair to complement the sexy, head turning designs and innovative hemlines and fringe, but still making her look modern and cool."

Redken Products:
-          align 12 protective straightening balm
-          vinyl glam 02 mega shine spray

Create the Look:
-          Create a messy center part, wet hair and apply align 12.  Blow dry for stick straight strands that have added protection from heat and damage.
-          Run through hair with flat iron
-          Section off crown section of hair
-          To cut down on volume, scalp braid hair horizontally from the occipital bone down to the nape – add a layer of extensions that skin the lower back to create length, securing them in where the scalp braids began (if hair is already long, extensions wouldn't be needed)
-          Flat iron all hair together to the very ends
-          Finish with vinyl glam 02 for separation and shine.
