Get the look of the Logies!
May 3rd 2010 00:49
So stepping out of my comfort zone (now there's a word you don't use often when it comes to fashion!) I am delving into hair this morning, chiefly because I have been chatting to a celebrity stylist who got flown to the Logies yesterday to do Kelly Landry's hair. And it got me thinking about hair as fashion, which is most certainly is.
As evidenced at this year’s Oscars, curls are back in a big way, and poker straight hair is kind of moving in the direction that flouro clothes should have done months ago, and the styles seen on the red carpet at last night’s event proved no exception.
Anyhoo, said stylist Dario Cotroneo, was kind enough to share his secret for how he made Kelly's hair look so freaking fabulous in such a way that I could potentially attempt it myself at home.
“As part of the team nominated for the Most Popular Lifestyle Logie, Kelly’s hair was in the spotlight, so it had to be on-trend, and immaculate,” Dario says. “And the real secret is, it’s actually not that difficult to recreate her look at home using MYCURL.”
Here's how Dario explained how I can look as fabulous as Kelly...
“Kelly knew she wanted her hair up and slightly loose. When I saw her Collette Dinnigan gown number with a lot of detail, I was inspired to go in the opposite direction with her hair. I wanted her to look sophisticated and in control, without looking uptight.
To start I placed a very low side part on a slight angle and backcombed under the fringe and crown area to create volume. I then sectioned her hair vertically using KMS Bounce Back Spray and wound the hair vertically around MYCURLs, directing the hair towards her face. I stopped secured the MYCURLs inline with her cheekbones and repeated this until all hair was secured. I used 8 MYCURLs in total and allowed her hair to cool for 20 minutes.”
The Result:
“I removed all MYCURLs and lightly brushed out Kelly’s hair, leaving the fringe area to maintain volume. I sprayed her hair with a gloss spray and sectioned out a small area of hair on the right hand side for the braid. I clawed my fingers through the rest of her hair, twisted it together clockwise and tucked the ends underneath her hairstyle. This enabled half of the twist on the part side to be visible, then with the remaining hair I braided this and tucked it underneath. I loosened up the braid to look more editorial, and followed this by braiding the ends of the fringe and into her hairstyle. I secured the style with lots of Elnet hairspray onto a makeup brush to clean up any loose ends, and to ensure her hair would last the whole night! Lots of fun and a very happy client.”
