Patio season is finally here! And with it, the requisite flirting. Make an impression with these four runway-inspired looks. Elle Canada spoke with the experts to show you how to get them:
Since you can’t let your hair down at every fiesta, look to Yves Saint Laurent’s polished example for sophisticated chic. “This look is a quick and easy way to transform your day hair into a striking evening ’do,” says Alain Larivee, John Frieda Canadian Creative Consultant and official hairstylist of this year’s Genie Awards.
To create this look, he recommends washing hair with Luxurious Volume Full Splendour Shampoo and Conditioner to create fullness and strengthen hair from the inside out, filling in damaged areas and plumping the hair for healthy volume.
Once hair is dry, section off a square portion of hair in the bang area starting at the hair line and going back to the crown. You will come back to this piece later, so clip it out of the way for now. Brush the rest of the hair upwards and secure in a ponytail at the crown, then backcomb your ponytail. To hide the elastic band you are using to hold your ponytail, wrap a strand of hair around the elastic and secure it using a bobby pin.
Now, grab the bang section you squared off earlier, backcomb the roots to create lift and then smooth it back and incorporate it into the ponytail section. Secure ends with bobby pins. Hold everything in place with a finishing hairspray like Luxurious Volume All-Out Hold Hairspray, which also protects against summer humidity.
Lastly, secure a barrette or slide a comb in place to create a pin-backed ridge. Finish with a final spritz of hairspray and you’re ready to dazzle them all.
