RAFW: Oscar Oscar for Phos Phoro

[Mon 10/05/2010 04:17:00]

It was a feminine fusion of hairstyles at the Phos Phoro Spring / Summer 2010/11 show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.



Paloma Rose Garcia, Master Stylist for Oscar Oscar Salon directed her team to create the catwalk hair styles, using Aveda products to combine a French roll with a soft rockabilly quiff for the debut show of Sydney fashion designer Spencer Webber.

"I wanted the hair to be modern, slightly androgynous and directional but still quite soft so that it suited the fashion direction of Spencer's collection,” Said Paloma.

The key to ensuring this style had a modern edge was to create lots of texture through a combination of backcombing and using great products such as Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion."

Get the look:

1. Prep hair with Aveda Volumising Tonic from roots to ends.

2. Create horseshoe section on crown and prep with Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam at the roots.

3. Rough blowdry with hands to create natural texture.

4. Section hair starting at nape of the neck and gently backcomb each section, then spray with each section with Aveda Air Control and smooth over with a straightening iron to create a light frizzy hair.

5. Repeat this process for all of the hair – excluding horseshoe section

6. Now with the backcombed section create a French roll and secure with bobby-pins.

7. Next use a medium curling tong to create loose bends in the horseshoe section.

8. Pin the horse shoe section to create a loose quiff, with the style and movement depending on texture and length of hair.

9. Finish look with Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion for added texture and a light spray of dry shampoo for a whitening effect.
