Hair looks during New York fashion collections

This look is all about the preparation of the hair - Peter Gray, runway hairstylist

NYC Fashion Week Spring / Summer 2012
For the Badgley Mischka Spring/Summer 2012 collection, stylist Peter Gray inspired by futurist sculptor Umberto Boccioni, created dramatic, voluminous multi-textured glamorous updos that featured cascades of luminous curls flowing in a graceful triangular shape, and resting on a smooth, sculptural foundation of a bold French Twist, pictured left.
 

How The Look Was Created, Step-by-Step:
The back: Bold French Twist
1. Frizz control and styling cream was applied to dampened hair to build in smoothness and soft hold.

2. A long vertical section was made from the top of the ear to the crown. To bump up volume and lift the foundation of the look, hairspray was sprayed at the root and blow-dried each section with a round hair brush.

3. The hair was then back-combed and turned it into a huge French Twist, keeping it in place with bobby pins criss-crossed in from nape to crown.

The front and crown: Triangular Flowing Curls
1. To prepare the rest of the hair, a classic roller set was created using a 3/4” iron, meticulously pinning each curl section by section. Hairspray was sprayed on individual sections and all over the head, and allowed the curls to set.

2. After releasing the set, the hair was combed on the ends gently with a wide tooth comb to preserve the curls, and loosely brushed the hair from root to mid-head with a brush for a smoother texture.
 
3. Finally the most important part – shaping texture. Each section was back-combed starting at the crown and working forward, to create a large mass of hair. All the hair was shaped, twisted, folded and sculpted into a flowing triangular shape. These shapes were then brought up to the crown area, and secured to the top of the smoothed French Twist. The whole look was sprayed once more with hairspray for a hold that looked soft, flowing and natural.

For the Carolina Herrera Spring / Summer 2012 collection

The Look:
Leading runway stylist Orlando Pita for Orlo Salon created a gracefully looped ponytail to complement the elegant look of the Carolina Herrera designs. The hair was shaped into a triangular form and balanced with a wide wrap of hair at the nape of the neck. The hair was parted in the middle, with soft, loose strands falling naturally around the ear.
 
How The Look Was Created:
1. Moroccanoil Light was used on the models before starting to style, especially on those who had damaged or fragile hair.
 
2. Styling cream was applied on dampened hair for a smooth soft hold, then blow-dried straight.

3. The hair was parted the hair in the middle and pulled into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck then teased to make it look fuller, especially on the models who had fine hair.

4. The teased length of the ponytail was looped onto an elastic in a circulate fold, shaped into a triangle, and a section of hair wrapped around the elastic to finish. Everything was secured with hairpins and the entire style was sprayed with hairspray.

5. The style was finished off with a light mist of frizz control to make sure the hair stayed smooth and frizz-free on the runway.

The bride's crowning glory!
As soon as you have selected the head piece for your dress, shop for a hair stylist. If you have a hairstylist you like and who knows the texture and color of your hair, you will probably be happier having that person do your hair for your wedding. If you are shopping for a new hair stylist ask what their "bridal services" policy is for new clients.

Most stylists will take the time to give you a proper consultation to discuss their service packages. Hair pieces and extensions can be added to short or fine hair to create various effects. Wigs are often used on warm days.

Have your hair done in the salon two or three months before your wedding to make sure you will be happy with the results. Let your hairstylist know if you are planning to take off your headpiece or veil at your reception, so that your hair maintain its style. Go through a mini- rehearsal with your stylist in taking off your headpiece.

Several hair stylists will make house calls before the wedding and meet you at the reception for touch-ups. Remember not to color your hair the day before your wedding in case you need more than 24 hours to fix it. Above all, if you are not all that cosmetic-conscious, reply upon professionals.

TOP KNOT LOOK FOR BRIDES
Victoria Beckman's top knot at Fashion Week 2010, NYC
The hot spring top knot look that Victoria Beckman, left, is wearing is perfect for brides. When brides wear the top knot, celebrity stylist, Philip Pelusi, says they should select a veil that pins in under the back of the knot. The top knot is a really high fashion look that really makes a statement so we recommend not covering it with a veil.

If a gown is more formal and classic then wear the top knot smooth, sleek and neat. The hair texture is smooth and neatly tucked into the knot, pinning in all loose ends. Use a hair grooming and glossing product to smooth hair down and create shine.

If a gown is more casual or romantic, then wear the top knot slightly sexy, messy and textured. Air-dry or scrunch the hair first to create a wavy texture then pull the hair up into the knot without smoothing the texture. Do not use a brush. Use fingers to control hair and finger style into the knot. Use a texturizing and soft controlling product to help control and groom hair. Pin in ends but don't worry is a few ends are left out as the look is supposed to be not so perfect.


From runways - including the Kati Stern for Venexiana collection, above, to celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, the top knot or chignon is becoming one of the fastest growing hair trends. U.S. stylist Philip Pelusi, along with creative director Jeffrey Reitz, created a variety of top knot looks seen during Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week, shown above.

For Venexiana's show, the Philip Pelusi design team utilized a knot he called "Empire Chignon," a twist on the classic chignon, right. The hair created for Venexiana was architectural and took on new height - literally. The hair was couture, high-fashion.
