Read our review of the runway hair looks that are oh-so simple to DIY. Plus, we give you a few tips on the best products to keep shine in and cold weather stress out!
Beauty and the BRAID
What Alexander Wang started in Spring 2010 has showed no signs of disappearing and will go right into the Fall season – as seen recently at Rag & Bone. The laidback and loose side braid is probably the easiest runway look to imitate.
BANG BANG
The heavy bang is back! Phiilip Lim (left), Rodarte (right) and Marc Jacobs pinned it neatly to the side for a polished look.
WAVES OF INSPIRATION
The models at Anna Sui looked as though they’d slept with their hair in braids and woken up with that perfect wave.
CURL UP
Badgley Mishka created a look that requires time to do, but would be worth the effort!
HIGH BALLERINA BUN
The girls at Oscar de la Renta (left) had their hair pulled back into a huge bun that was likely enhanced with extra hairpieces. Good thing the effortless version of the ballerina bun (ie. Hair piled high on top) is also in vogue as per Vivienne Tam (right).
For any of these looks, prep with Kiss My Face Miss Treated Shampoo and Conditioner that brings back shine and bounce with organic herbs and extracts, as well as soothes the scalp with pure essential oils. The shampoo gently cleanses without drying or stripping color, while the conditioner nourishes overstressed hair. It’s a bonus that these products are aromatherapeutic and sulphate free!
$9 each at Shoppers Drug Mart
For a sleek look a la Oscar, try Aveda’s Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss with rice bran oil for exceptional shine and smooth ends.
$40 at Aveda Experience Centre
To tame static and frantic flyaways during what is left of winter, the pros recommend using a moisturizing conditioner like The Conditioner by Paul Mitchell. Use this award-winning formula from the middle to the ends, and refrain from over-drying your hair.
