Alberta Ferretti Fall Winter 2011 Backstage Beauty

February 24, 2011 by J.T.

Wednesday February 23, 2011 – Palazzo del Senato via Senato, 10

Today Guido kicked off his week in Milan with the Alberta Ferretti Fall Winter 2011 show, and created a very 60s chignon with a boyish swoop over the eye and small pieces left out just in front of the ears.

“Alberta has a very strong opinion about the woman she wants to send down the runway each season. This season we decided on a look that was simple 60s feel, yet stylized. Almost twiggy- like but with a boyish feel.”

Redken Products used:
- velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow-dry gel
- quick dry 18 instant finishing spray
- shine flash 02 glistening mist (new! Launches April 2011)

Create the look:

Create a low side part on the left. Wet hair and apply velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow-dry gel and blow dry in. Spray quick dry 18 instant finishing spray in sections and back comb to create the “Bardot-like” height at the crown. Pull all hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Coil ponytail around itself into a chic chignon and pin with hairpins. Pull pieces out at either side in front of the ear with a tail comb as not to disturb the rest of the hair. Finish entire look with shine flash 02 glistening mist for extra sheen.
