Taking us behind the lens of one of his most recent runway creations, @stephane_scotto_di_cesare shares more about the creative process for the curved up-dos for @mikaeldofficial. A sculptural look with an almost otherwordly element, the key to creation is achieving a slick finish.

Ready, set, go! A high energy, high impact catwalk from @bafcsm for the annual White Show. ‘Sport is our fashion’ was the motto, and @clarehansford_hair of @headmastersuk absolutely nailed the brief for @lorealpro @lorealpro_education_uki 👏 Working with ID Artists and team members from Portfolio salons, Clare led the way to create looks for 140 models with just three hours prep time! The overall vibe for the show was to give a damp finish, but with varying levels to reflect how hair can look during sporting activities. End results ranged from damp curls around the face to a soaking, wet-look finish reminiscent of “playing squash for two hours,” Clare said. Forget your next gym class, this is all the sporting action you need! #hair #hairdressing #hairdresser #headmasters #fashionshow #centralsaintmartins #whiteshow #wetlookhair #bafcsm #csmwhiteshow #sessionstylist #lorealpro #runwayhair

Simple but effective 🖤 A little bit of minimal chic inspiration by @mrs.sirotina with this slicked back, knotted, low ponytail style. Irina keeps the look smooth and clean, pinning the knot in place and taming the loose lengths for some added detail! #hair #hairdressing #hairdresser #hairstyle #hairstylist #partyhair #partyseason #simplehair #simplehairstyle #simpleupdo #sleekhair #chichairstyle #creative
