Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau fused glamour with grunge at the Alexander Wang show this season to create a nonchalant, yet sexy runway look. By adding thickening lotions and texturizers to the hair, Guido created volume without altering the model’s natural texture with teasing or heat styling.

“Overall it’s a very sexy look this season. I wanted the hair to reflect the cool, low-key Alexander Wang type girl. I suppose there are equal parts grunge and glamour, in that the hair is voluminous, yet natural.” Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Redken Products Used:

Create the Look:

  • Towel dry hair
  • Create a messy center part with finger

  • Start drying hair with a diffuser to keep the natural waves

  • Add powder refresh 01 aerosol hair powder/dry shampoo to mid length and ends to give more texture.
  • Apply quick tease 15 backcombing finishing spray to mid length and ends to hold in the texture
