New York Fashion Week is over but the memory of the hair lives on and inquiring minds want to know how the runway looks at DKNY and Cynthia Rowley were created. Never ones to keep something from me when asked nicely, lead colourist, Eva Scrivo and the
Wella professionals that crafted the runway looks were kind enough to share their secrets.
CYNTHIA ROWLEYThe Look: A sleek, natural
ponytail accented with the striking contrast of an artificial colored hair
extension placed off center for an added tuft of textured fringe.
The Hair Color: Wella Professionals
Koleston
Perfect Special Mix shades were used to completely saturate the natural
hair extensions with rich, vibrant, jewel-toned shades of the collection. The
sophisticated nuances of the Special Mix collection allow for creativity without
limits – turning any color fantasy into a reality on the runway or in real life.
The multi-dimensional tones and layers reveal sensuous colors in a range of
shades, while embedded with an element of surprise.
The
Products:
- System Professional Ultimation: Strong-hold hairspray with
long-lasting hold and maximum shine
Step-by-Step
Styling
1. Section hair off and working from back of the head to
the front, prepare hair with
System Professional Ultimation
hair spray for added texture and shine.
2. Create texture within each section by using a
combination of a curling iron and crimping iron for non-uniform waviness.
3. Place Wella colored hair pieces that have been crimped
within sections of the natural hair so that the extensions blend in seamlessly.
4. Pull the hair back into a soft ponytail at the nape of
the neck with the ends flowing naturally, while allowing the streaks of color to
show through for added dimension.
DKNYThe Look: A refined side-swept
ponytail projects a sexy equestrian vibe with a subtly strong, yet not too
masculine look.
The Hair Color: Using Wella
Professionals’ new
Blondor collection to achieve the palest of
blondes, and both the
Koleston Perfect permanent and
Color Touch demi-permanent collections to create a gorgeous
palette of naturals, handpainted extensions were created within the natural
color palette of the models’ hair. The range reflects beautiful dimension in a
variety of hues - from medium brown to a beautiful spectrum of blonde
shades.
The Products:
- System Professional Volumagic: Natural hold styling foam
for long-lasting volume
- System Professional Hypercurl: Provides texture and
definition to curl patterns
Step-by-Step
Styling
1. Prepare damp hair with
System Professional
Volumagic and blow dry with a large round brush, creating a soft wave
and giving direction for the side part.
2. Rake hands through hair to loosen the waves, pulling to
the side of the part and fasten the low side ponytail.
3. Leave hair on the opposite side of the ponytail loose
around the face to balance the asymmetry of the look.
4. Lightly smooth
System Professional
Hypercurl on the length of the ponytail for separation and added
texture.
This post so makes me want to grow my hair out!
