RSFF: RAFW Review Shows 3 & 4

[Tue 31/08/2010 10:02:51]

The top knot trend shows no sign of slowing down if the RAFW Review Shows 3 and 4 during Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival were anything to go by.

Redken Hair Director Lorna Evans created a striking, new conical version for the RSFF runway.

“The key to this top knot is about the positioning. The bun is placed one and a half inches away from the hairline to balance the beautiful point on the very top,” she said.

Lorna opted for a refined three tiered bun to complement the style’s soft, natural texture, for models who showcased designers including Alex Perry, Aurelio Costarella Jayson Brunsdon, Lisa Ho, Ms Couture, Nicola Finetti and Rachel Gilbert.

Get the look:

1. Apply Redken Touch Control 05 to towel-dried hair for grip and to enhance the organic texture of the hair.
2. Blow dry the hair smooth with a Mason Pearson brush, directing the hair back and away from the face.
3. Gradually brush and gather the lengths into a ponytail and secure one and a half inches away from the hairline with a hair tie.
4. Divide the lengths of the ponytail into three sections, securing the ends with a small elastic band.
5. Take the middle section and spray with Redken Wax Blast 10 for a raspy texture.
Twist tightly in one direction and coil to create the highest point of the bun. Pin into place.
6. Spray and twist the two remaining lengths then wrap around the base of the ponytail in an opposite direction. This will form the bulk of the top knot. Use the elastics as the point to pin and secure the sections. Secure any loose strands with pins if necessary.
7. Finish with a light spray of Redken Wax Blast 10 for hold and a matte finish.
