Men’s Hispter Hair Trends

Retro 50s rockabilly, indie-surfer cool and nu-wave punk are the three key hair trends that we are seeing this year according to Anne-Marie Butler, Salon Partner for Oscar Oscar Salons in Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast.

Anne-Marie was recently interviewed by the Gold Coast Bulletin for her expert advice on men’s styling trends and also worked with photographer Kit Wise to create this incredible men’s hair shoot.

CLASSIC RETRO-ROCKABILLY: “This requires a cut that is longer on top and shorter on the sides. These styles look great when worn with a deep-side part and slicked back with gel or pomade, or worn as a quiff with plenty of height.”

NU-WAVE PUNK: “For this look the sides were also slicked back, but for the top we created curl and texture to give the hair an edge. This look works well with Redken Powder Grip, which you use to mould and shape the hair.”

SURFER COOL: “Guys don’t want clean fluffy hair, they want hair that is a bit lived-in. like they have just gone for a surf, so adding a texturising product to their hair is essential.”

HOW TO: Sleek & Modern for the Elle Australia Party @ MBFWA

We are very excited that Elle magazine will be launching in Australia later this year and were thrilled to be involved in the official Elle magazine launch during MBFWA!

Our session stylist, Paloma Rose Garcia, was selected as one of the Redken Hair Directors for this event to create the sleek, modern looks worn by the models.

“The hair for the Elle launch party was a strong editorial look, with high-shine and amped-up glamour” said Paloma Rose Garcia

GET THE LOOK:

1. Use Redken Satin Wear and Rootful on the roots and mid-lengths and then blowdry the hair straight using a paddle brush.

2. Create a low side-part or a middle-part depending on how you prefer to wear your hair.

3. Comb the hair down very tight onto the head using a fine-toothed comb, do this in sections to get the best result.

4. Next paint Redken Hardwear gel onto the root section to keep the hair in place and to give it a high-gloss shine.

5. Finish the look with Redken Fashion Work hairspray.

HAIR HOW TO: Beach Chic as seen at MBFWA for White Sands

The White Sands show for MBFWA 2013 was a display of total bombshell beach babes, with sexy curls and curves in all the right places.

Our session stylist Paloma Rose Garcia was the hair director for this event working backstage with Redken to create the sensual beach chic hair.

“I wanted to create a softness in the hair and the backcombing at the crown gave the look a very 60s retro feel’ explains Redken Hair Director Paloma Rose Garcia

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

1. Apply Redken Rootful 06 to the root area for lift. Follow by moussing the hair with Guts 10 for body and volume. Work the product through the mid-lengths and ends then completely dry the hair.

2. Create a low side-part. Use the center of your eye as a starting point, pulling back diagonally to the crown.

3. Start curling the hair from below the brow. Spray each section with Redken Fashion Works 12 hairspray wrapping the hair towards the face. Pin each section to the scalp and leave to cool.

4. Remove the pins and brush into shape to create a relaxed wave rather than tight curls.

Redken Rootful 06 RRP $29.95

HOW TO: The Messy Plait as seen at MBFWA

Our Sydney session stylist, Paloma Rose Garcia, created a Pocahontas inspired messy plait for the Flannel MBFWA show to suit the carefree styling and youthful edge of the Perth fashion brand.

“The inspiration behind this look was an American-Indian, almost Pocahontas-like look – very natural. The aesthetic coming through from Flannel is very natural, with lots of neutral colours and tones, so we wanted the hair to reflect that vision” said Redken Hair Director Paloma Rose Garcia.

“I almost imagine this beautiful, wild woman in the wilderness, her hair is a reflection of her free spirit.”

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

1. Apply Rootful 06 root lifting spray from roots to ends until completely saturated

2. Using the tips of the fingers, very softly work the product into the hair with a hair drier on low setting.

3. When the hair is completely dry, bring the hair together low at the nape of the neck, letting tendrils fall naturally loose around the face.

4. At the nape, make a loose plait 3cm long then separate the lengths of the hair into two sections – top and bottom. With a hair tie, loosely tuck top section under to secure the plaint.

5. Finish with Fashion Work 12 versatile working spray for extra shine and hold.
