How to: a braid that has the romance of a Renaissance painting

With strands pulled back loosely from away the face and then woven into a pretty, relaxed braid, this hairstyle has all the romance of a Renaissance painting. That’s no accident: backstage at the Alberta Ferretti spring / summer 2014 show, Redken’s Guido Palau designed it with such a classical look in mind.

My John Frieda Hair Cut

October has been a good hair month! First off I went darker for Autumn and then I had an amazing haircut at the John Frieda salon in Mayfair. I love it! 

How to recreate this adorable tangled braid from Rachel Zoe’s runway

Exotic glamour is what the Rachel Zoe spring / summer 2014 collection is all about. The collection – shown on the runway at New York fashion week – is reminiscent of a woman who loves travelling, and this time she goes on a safari.

Men: the modern take on Elvis hair you can rock right now

While it’s true that the rockabilly hairstyle has been on and off trend since its very creation, it’s equally true that this mid-20th Century rock hairstyle was packed with enough attitude as to assure its lingering existence for decades to come.

Fall 2013 hair: the luxe factor.

You simply cannot reference the sirens of film noir without creating a hairstyle that comes to view as luxurious, yet effortless to a certain extent. We spotted the modern take on the classic styles on the Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabanna, Miu Miu and Valentino fall 2013 runways. There is where the cinematic sophistication managed to transcend the big screen, giving us a display of beautiful examples on how a distinctly luxurious point of view can be translated in full effect onto the city streets

A young Jodie Foster playing Iris in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, inspired Guido at Redken to create the soft curls at Bottega Veneta fall 2013. The classic beauty of German actresses Hedy Lamarr and Marlene Dietrich also had a fair share of influence over the resulting gentle hairstyles, accompanied by an equally effective make-up. More like a modern adaptation of the point where the 1940s and the 1970s interchange, the style at Bottega Veneta is all about va-va-volume.

Braids: the braided hairstyles to wear in fall 2013

Braids can be girlish, they can be classical, they can be traditional or elegant or punkish. It all comes down to the particular style you’re wearing, and indeed the way in which you carry it. Braids are a staple part of any girl’s hair reportoir, a constant rather than so much a trend; and yet, as far as fall 2013′s hairstyles go, the question is of which braided hairstyles to try. 

Crown braid.

The crown braid, just as it’s name suggests is a type of braid that goes around the head (like a crown). It’s a hairstyle that you would like see while watching “Game of Thrones”. When done cleanly or in a sleek way, it exudes an almost royal vibe but do it a little messy and you get this vintage and playful look like this one from Viktor and Rolf 2013.
This type of braid might require more work but as you can see, it’s very much worth all the trouble
