Peter gray explains how to get the badgley mischka look

Published 16th Sep 2010 by hunsleyr

One of my favourite shows so far has been the Badgley Mischka show - the 70s-inspired curls and waves were fun and feminine. Moroccanoil stylist Peter Gray created the beautiful, intricate cascades of curls, with a playful touch of decadent 70's frizz, as a perfect counterpoint to the slim, narrow silhouettes and the smooth, diaphanous fabrics of the clothes.

"They're designed to tease the eye and keep it moving, almost in the same way as when the fabrics flow and fall as the models walk. We dressed many of the looks with eye‐catching 70's accents including head scarves wrapped around the head and tied into asymmetrical buns, and soft summer hats. We also added custom‐designed gold, silver and diamond jewellery as well as gold coins into the hair. The mood is all light and summery while still being very posh."

2 He applied a small amount of Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream on each section, layered on a light spritz of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hairspray and wrapped sections around the curling iron.

3 As he made his way up the hair, Peter graduated to vertical hair sections the same width as the diameter of the larger curling iron he selected, taking bigger sections as he reached the crown.

4 Working primarily towards a side‐part creating a wave in the fringe, he took small horizontal sections and worked back with the curling iron starting at the hairline and completing at the crown. Curls were held in place by lightweight aluminum clips to ensure springiness.

5 After combing out the curls, he applied a light mist of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hairspray over the entire look to hold it in place while keeping the hair soft, flexible, and natural‐looking.
