Want the the glamorous waves as worn by Samantha Harris? Aveda shares their backstage secrets:

HAIR STEP-BY-STEP

 Glamour Wave

Glamour is coming back and this look is a great new way to wear waves. Create a great classic look and a new season twist with a strong pulled back sweep over one shoulder.

  1. Take a strong low part and start by blow-drying Aveda Volumizing Tonic into the hair focusing on the root area. If your feel you need more support, apply Aveda Phomollient to the roots through to the ends. A medium or large roller brush will smooth and create volume and bounce.
  2. Using large tongs and a little Aveda Witch Hazel hairspray, section the hair in long vertical sections and tong the whole head rolling each completed section into a barrel roll. Secure with a bobby pin.
  3. Once whole head is completed, give the hair a light spray of Aveda Air Control hairspray and leave to cool for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Take out all pins and use a large tooth comb or a brush with short bristles and turn your head upside-down brushing through hair gently. Flick head back and arrange your waves and curls with a low side part.

TOP TIP: Do not over-brush or comb at this stage. Over-brushing will take the volume out of it that you have just put into it. Less is more!

  1. Take a section from the part which has less hair and pull back into a diagonal line all the way to the back hairline finishing to 2 cm past the centre of the head on the side with the large wave. Secure tightly with a small band keeping the low ponytail swept to the front.
  2. Allow the rest of the hair to flow over this secured section that is kept over the shoulder to rest.
  3. Using Aveda Control Force, gently lift the hair at the roots and spray to give extra height. Fix with another spray of Aveda Control Force hairspray.

TOP TIP: When you want to set you completed style, spray Aveda Control Force hairspray from at least 10cm away and above the head. This will allow the hairspray to mist down onto your style, keeping the spray distributed evenly over the whole hair and fixing in place.

Aveda Backstage at NYFW

New York Fashion Week is a flurry of models, designers and A-listers all toting the current it-bag, sipping skinny lattes and discussing the new season Prada hot-rod shoes. Yes, NYFW is about as ‘fashion’ as it gets and this year Aveda has been working hard backstage to help make all this fashion-magic happen.

For designers such as Betsey Johnson, Preen and Tibi, the Aveda team has been wielding cans of Air Control hairspray and bottles of Pure Abundance Hair Potion, to create simply stunning hair to send down the runway.
