Moving on from New York Fashion Week, it’s now time to take a look at what is happening at London Fashion Week. Sam McKnight is the Global Stylist Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V and was backstage for the Moschino Cheap & Chic A/W ‘12 show.
This vintage look is described as ’60s Mash Up, headband optional – and on a side note, check out the girl’s sparkly lips!
The Look: ‘60s Mash Up
The hair look at the Moschino Cheap & Chic look was all about fun. Keeping in line with Moschino’s decision to show this season in London, the collection had an eclectic feel with more than a hint of the ‘60s.
“I wanted to create a hair look that was a lot of fun and had a London vibe” said Sam McKnight, Global Stylist Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V. “The hair has a voluminous quality to it and is like a young modern girl’s take on a ‘60s look, the key to this look is to build up the volume and then keep it in place with a lot of hairspray” added Sam.
Get the look:
1. The perfect base for this look is freshly washed and conditioned hair. Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner works well for a light finish as it nourishes the hair without adding weight.
1. For hair stressed by over styling (such as at Fashion Week), supplement your hair care regimen with a treatment mask such as Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Lightweight Nourishing Treatment (for fine hair) or Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle (for normal-thick hair).
2. Apply Pantene Pro-V Body Builder Mousse to damp hair and blow dry the hair back away from
the face with a flat bristle brush.
3. Backcomb the hair at the sides, back and top of the head with a fine toothed comb for maximum volume and big impact. Spray with Pantene Pro-V Body Builder Hairspray as you go to keep the volume and height in place. (leave a section of the hair free at the front of the head to frame the face)
4. Lightly brush back the top front section of hair over to the back of the head to create a smooth layer over the backcombed section.
5. Tie the smoothed hair at the nape of the neck into a ponytail and roll the pony tail up into a dishevelled bun, and fix in to place with hair pins. Spray with Pantene Pro-V Body Builder Hairspray to hold style in place and pick out wisps of hair for a carefree look.
6. For the Moschino Cheap & Chic look finish with a pastel bow detail headband placed in the middle of the head, in front of the volumised and lifted back section.
