Backstage at Jenny Packham, a team of 14 hairstylists created a sleek, upscale, modern look that was meant to be a variation on last year’s style said stylist Leonardo Manetti. The show featured straight, shimmering strands that were free-flowing and “looked as if hair is in a breeze after the storm.” To create the look, Leonardo was sure to use a powerful dryer, shine inducing brush, and attended to last minute touch ups with a flat iron, all from Solano.
To compliment the beautiful beadwork and flowing fabrics seen at Jenny Packham, Leonardo chose a simple style that wouldn’t distract from the elegance. Get this chic look at home with these step-by-step instructions:
1) Start by separating hair into sections and blow drying with the Solano 3700 Moda Dryer($220) which uses tourmaline, ionic, and far-infrared technology to increase shine and overall hair health. Per Manetti, “As you blow dry each section, marry the newly dried section to the previous one for a sleek and smooth look.”
2) Once at the ends of the hair, hold the Solano 53mm Plasmium Gel Grip Round Brush ($23.99) in place for a few seconds. The ceramic technology in the brush acts as a hot tool to give hair a slight bend at the end for more movement.
3) To finish the look, create a side part 1 ¼” from the beginning of your right brow and straight back to the crown. Smooth flyaways and lock in the sleek style with Solano SleekHeat 450 Flat Iron ($159.95).
Solano 3700Moda Dryer is available at major beauty distributors and www.solanopower.com.
