Redken Creative Consultant Guido envisioned a classic, sensual Valentino woman when he created the soft braids at the show yesterday. “Valentino has really found their woman and we see her each season in different guises. Today’s look is very signature Valentino, it’s beautiful and romantic, it’s about a woman with an ease to her beauty. The look we created is a French braid wrapped around her head- the kind of beauty that is timeless.”–Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Runway Hairstyles: Valentino Spring/Summer 2012 Paris Fashion Week

Redken Products Used:

All Soft IPN shampoo and conditioner

All Soft Argan-6 Multi-care oil

How to create the hairstyle:

-Shampoo and condition hair with All Soft IPN shampoo and conditioner.

-Apply All Soft Argan-6 Multi-care oil and blowdry to create a soft shine to the hair.

-Take a circular section of the hair at the crown, divide into 3 sections and begin to French braid the hair starting in the middle. Continue the braid just under the right ear going all the way counter clockwise around the hairline, pinning hair along the way to keep in place.

-Pull out a few wisps of hair to keep the final look easy and soft.
