Balenciaga autumn/winter 2015: get the hair look

Guido and the Redken team created a modern take on the chignon for the Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2015 show at Paris Fashion Week. The show: Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2015 The hair team: Guido for Redken The look: A chic, shiny, high chignon with fake 'sideburn' wisps flat-ironed to the face. The inspiration: "At Balenciaga, I created this very chic, sculpted chignon on the top of the crown that really accentuates the long neck and gives you a beautiful, elegant silhouette," said Guido. "It's kind of futuristic feeling in the way it's molded to the head, but it's still very polished and stylized, which makes the style look very new to the eye again. Though the shape is based on something classic, the shiny, lacquer-like finish gives it a new, modern feeling." The key product: Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist Get the Look 1. Spray Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer all over damp hair and comb through. 2. Apply a 10p-size amount of Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Spray-Foam Mousse to damp hair, working into the hair from roots to ends. 3. Blow-dry hair straight using a flat brush. 4. Gather hair into a high ponytail, leaving two small pieces out on each side, and secure with an elastic at the crown of the head. 5. Twist ponytail into a wide, flat chignon molded to the head, and secure with U-shaped pins. 6. Thoroughly spray Redken Control Addict 28 Extra High-Hold Hairspray and Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist for a lacquer-like finish. 7. Flat-iron the two small pieces of hair on each side of the head to create the illusion of sideburns.
