New York Fashion Week- Behind the Scenes: Ralph Lauren- Hair with Guido, a Redken Creative Consultant

18.2.13

Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a classic style for the design powerhouse Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2013 NYFW Show. For the decadent display “From Russia WIth Love” full of fur and velvet, Guido created sleek (but not totally perfect!) ponytails that worked with and without the hats in the collection.

Redken Products Used:

The Look:

Guido applied Redken satinwear 02 prepping blow-dry lotion to damp hair and created a smooth blow dry.
He then raked fingers through to “rough up” slightly to give the look more of an “ease” before attaching in a low ponytail and wrapping a small section of hair around the elastic.

“This style is luxurious but it has a little ease and softness to it. The ponytail is only part of the look for the models, as 90% of the girls are in hats. It’s very true the Ralph Lauren idea of a woman, the American idea of a classic beauty.”

-Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

New York Fashion Week- Behind the Scenes: Tracy Reese- Hair with Jeanie Syfu

18.2.13

Jeanie Syfu, the genius behind the hair of the Tracy Reese 2013 Fall New York Fashion Week Runway Show, gave us a moment of her time to talk about her approach for the styling for the show and where her inspiration came from. (Click on the image above to see our interview with Jeanie!)

Overall Look: A quintessential NY look, the hair combines side-swept texture with height at the crown.

Inspiration: A fearless New York girl walking home before dawn after a night out. The look has a modern style with retro roots.

How-To Steps:

Lightly dampen hair and liberally apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse throughout the roots and lengths of the hair for texture and volume.
Flip head upside-down and rought dry with fingers (pulling at the root with fingers until the hair is 90% dry). Use a mason brush to continue drying upside-down by lifting at the roots and smoothing at the ends. TIP: Use your mason brush to lift the roots, but don’t smooth the roots- this will flatten the texture.
Flip hair over when dry and create a “front sweep” by lightly brushing the hair from the front of the crown over to one side diagonally.
Tease the crown of the head for lift. Finish with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray.
Apply TRESemmé Fresh Start Color Care Dry Shampoo for texture and pull out pieces for a wispy/undone soft finish.

17.2.13

Hairstylist Guido breaks down his look for the Calvin Klein 2013 NYFW Fall Runway Show.

The Look:

He created a deep center part on damp hair and then used guts 10 root targeted spray foam focusing on the lengths.
He then blow-dried the top very flat, and the back was left to dry naturally.
Finish with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray.(Guido’s team blow-dried and then used curling irons to create slight bend given the hair couldn’t dry fully at the show.

Redken Products Used:

forceful 23 super strength finishing spray
guts 10 root targeted volume spray foam

“It’s blow-dried very flat on top, and the back is left naturally textured. The deep, clean part and sleek finish are military inspired, and overall it’s very true to the Calvin Klein identity.”

New York Fashion Week- Behind the Scenes: Pamella Roland- Hair with Paul Labrecque

16.2.13

We were lucky enough to steal Paul Labrecque away from his styling chair backstage at Pamella Roland’s NYFW Fall 2013 Show to speak with him for a brief moment. In our interview with Paul (click the image above to see!), he tells us all about the look he created for the show and where his inspiration came from.

Paul created a french pleat in the hair by simply pulling the hair back, folding it over and pinning it under itself. (see pictures below) Then the hair was smoothed over with a holding spray and the leather headband was applied to frame the face.
