The AW20 Trends to Recreate on Your Clients

1. Wet and Wild

[caption id="attachment_74121" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Wen Pan AW20[/caption] Wet look hair is back and bigger than ever. At Proenza Schouler Redken global creative director Guido Palau kept it messy with obvious comb marks and a few tactical straggling hairs. While at Wen Pan, TONI&GUY international artistic director Cos Sakkas took the show’s inspiration of a flower market on a wet day. The veil at the front represented the rain, while the slicked back hair and comb marks reflected flower stalks.

At Charlotte Knowles show L’Oréal Professionnel’s Shiori Takahashi took an edgier approach. “It’s a sleek and sophisticated look but there’s hidden spikes going on within the hair which represent the girl’s strength,” says Shiori. 1. Push the hair back using L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pli to prep the hair if required. 2. Smooth Tecni.ART Fix Max throughout the hair so it’s slicked back and super controlled. 3. Separate small pieces and twist with Tecni.ART Fix Max to create defined ‘spikes’ randomly throughout the hair for a strong feminine touch. 4. Depending on the client’s hair texture, comb the ‘spikes’ straight or create separated strong twists.

2. Sleek Ponytails

While the look is relatively client-friendly to recreate at home, seeing these styles strut down the catwalk will inspire your clients to book in-salon treatments to achieve smooth and shiny model locks.

Session stylist Benjamin Muller shows you how to recreate a sleek and slick ponytail. 1. Prepare the hair with Bumble and bumble Thickening Blow Dry Crème, Bumble and bumble Bb. Gel and Bb. thickening spray when the hair is wet to help produce a really straight blow-dry. 2. Using the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer professional edition with the styling concentrator attachment, blow-dry section by section to achieve a poker straight finish. Bring the side parting down really low to form a strong angle from the corner of the eye and incorporate a slight wave. This is important when creating a bolder look. 3. For the back, create a really straight low textured ponytail. Using the Dyson Supersonic simultaneously will create a really smooth finish. Bind elastic three quarters of the way up to finish and set with hairspray.

3. Anti-Establishment

We worked with a mix of the models’ own hair textures, hairpieces, braiding, coloured wigs and even randomly shaved looks,” explains Isaac.

4. Windswept Waves

5. Military Dandy

6. Minimal Braids

Normally a centre parting closes the face, but with the element of hair being delicately braided away from the front hairline, it gives the look tension and the linear detail of the braid lifts the face,” explains Eugene.
