With Robyn’s look, Annabel began by cutting a shorter, more textured fringe “to open up her face more and give her an edgier look,” Annabel explains. She took the length shorter using the BaByliss PRO Super Motor Trimmer, then added texture to the fringe by using various cutting techniques, such as point cutting and channel cutting. To finish off the look, the BaByliss 9000 Cordless Straightener was used, as well as the new BaByliss Cordless Hot Brush through the lengths and ends.
For Rose, much of the style focused on enhancing her natural texture with the addition of braids. Annabel began by creating a low side parting, then splitting it in two equal sections. She used a scalp braiding technique to create two neat braids on one side of the head. “The rest of the hair was left down with its natural texture to create a faux undercut,” said Annabel. Finally, the BaByliss 9000 Cordless Waving Wand was used to “enhance her natural texture” by taking large sections and adding a louse, tousled wave through the lengths and ends.
After Ex had clippered everything below the horseshoe for Karan’s look, Annabel and Georgia split the raking hair into six equal rectangular sections.”We used a scalp bradding technique to braid each section horizontally from the centre parting,” Annabel explains. ” Together, they created braids that sat flat to the head with clean ends all the way to the bottom of Karan’s hair.
