Kenna created swirling updos for the PPQ Autumn/Winter 2013 show at London Fashion Week.
Show: PPQ
Stylist: Kenna and the ghd Team
The inspiration: 90s supermodels.
The look: Kenna said: "The look is a seamless, swirling updo with a cheeky flip at the front to play up the cheekbones. This look channels the super-glamorous mood of the early 90s, when power suits for business women became playful and proportions hit the most dramatic dimensions."
Get the look: Prep wet or dry hair with ghd root lift spray and then blow-dry using the ghd air hairdryer and a ghd ceramic vented radial brush (size 2) to create movement at the ends.
Bevel deep, high and forwards with ghd V gold classic styler at the root at the front of the head, working back a couple of inches. From the bevel, create a wide curl by turning the styler 90 degrees in the opposite direction. Pin this curl to secure.
Create a radial section around the crown, about 10cm in diameter. Backcomb this section and tie with a band. Place an extra-large donut over and secure.
Pin the pony end towards the face and then around the sides of the donut to secure the height and angle forward.
Create four sections; sides, front and back. Starting with the back section, backcomb with the ghd tailcomb (the back comb for all sections should continue to add to the height of the donut to make its bun-like shape disappear). Then wrap around covering as much of the donut as possible in a swirling motion.
Repeat with the front, then left section and finish with the right section (always end with whichever section is on the side of the deep parting).
Use lots of ghd final fix hairspray and pins to secure as you move around - always checking mirrors for overall positioning.
Release fringe section (the curl pinned in step 2) and sweep upwards and sideways. Spray with ghd final fix hairspray and direct around over the ear, following the overall direction of the style.
Masses of ghd final fix hairspray, the tail of a ghd tailcomb and bare hands will create a solid finish to this look, keeping it sharp on the runway.
