Creating the Hair Look for Aquascutum A/W ‘11

The Look:  ‘Shine On’

The hair look at the Aquascutum A/W ’11 show in London, was a perfectly glamorous take on the super glossy, super natural look of the late ‘70s. 

“I was inspired by the iconic fashion and fragrance advertising campaigns of the ‘70s, and the type of woman who typified that independent ‘70s career woman who breezes through life.” says Sam McKnight, Pantene Pro-V Global Stylist Ambassador.  

The collection with its linear, architectural structure and palette of winter nudes and bright highlights was perfectly complemented by the easy chic hair.

 “This is super sexy hair.  It’s the kind of hair look that every woman wants and it’s accessible.  It’s glossy and sleek without being high maintenance” adds Sam McKnight.

Get the Look: Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair. For highly coloured apply a heat protection spray such as Pantene Pro-V Colour Protect Instant Nourishing Shine Spray.

Work  mousse through damp hair, then blow dry using a round brush to create a perfect blow dry; straight but not too straight with slight movement at the ends. 

Next, take sections of hair, roll around your fingers and then clip in place.  Repeat this over the entire head.  Leave the style to set for at least 20 minutes.    

Unroll the clipped sections and brush the hair through with a soft bristled brush. 

Let the hair fall in to a natural centre parting. Finally, use the Volume and Body Magnification Spray to hold the volume on the crown of the head.
