"The inspiration for the hair this season actually came from a drawing Alexander Wang shared with me when he was designing the collection," says Guido. "I wanted the hair to look drawn on the models like Alex's illustration, so I used very straight lines to create the illusion that the hair was stuck on. I didn't want the hair to be too normal. I wanted to make something classic, a little different so certain elements were slightly off. "
Here Guido offers the HOW TO:
STEP 1: Apply pillow proof blow dry express primer to damp hair.
STEP 2: Blow dry hair until completely dry and straight with a natural bristle brush.
STEP 3: Divide hair into two sections (top and bottom), fastening the bottom and larger section into a low ponytail with an elastic.
STEP 4: Create a deep and clean side part with the top section.
STEP 5: Using a finishing brush, start to comb the front section forward to create side swept bangs.
STEP 6: Secure swept bangs with a bobby pin and add the remaining lengths to low ponytail.
STEP 7: Apply Redken control addict 28 extra high-hold hairspray to top of head to smooth any remaining flyaways.
STEP 8: Spray Redken control addict 28 directly on side swept bangs until wet.
STEP 9: Use a blow dryer and a comb to mold the side swept bangs.
