Tips From Backstage at London Fashion Week

Get the Look: STEP 1: Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair, using Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner, to ensure hair is in perfect condition. STEP 2: Blow dry hair straight using a soft bristle brush, pulling it backwards away from the face. STEP 3: When hair is dry, section off the top and front sections, leaving an ‘under section’. STEP 4: Divide the under section in two down the middle and continue by spraying Wella Professionals Perfect Setting to each section to add control when you come to braid. STEP 5: To braid start flat at the scalp, creating two braids to either side of the scalp and pulling out so that it sits away from the ear. STEP 6: When the braids are complete, spray a light mist of Wella Professionals Stay Styled Finishing Spray to the braids to keep them looking sharp. STEP 7: Release the sectioned off hair and run a straightening iron through the remaining sections, clamping the ends to prevent it from looking too soft. STEP 8: Then section-by-section, pat Wella Professionals Extra Volume Styling Mousse in to the roots, combing each section through with a fine tooth comb. Continue this process all the way through to the front section of hair – the mousse will provide a feeling of separation and create a ‘satin wetness’ to the hair. Take a wide toothcomb and rake hair back, creating a ‘rocker’ style effect. STEP 9: To finish, pin the hair above the braid above each ear and dry the mousse using a blow dryer diffuser. When ‘set’, release the pins, pulling one braid forward and leaving the other to hang behind the shoulder. ]]>
