Hair Trends: 40s Inspired Faux Bob

New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 Hair Trends Report: 

Designer: Costello Tagliapietra Spring 2010 Collection
Hair by: Sebastian Professional
Hair Trend: 40s inspired faux bob.
Inspiration: Costello Tagliapietra’s Spring ’10 beauty look is a seamless combination of elegance, youthfulness, natural beauty and romance. The hair, both feminine and fresh, is loosely inspired by the traditional roll style from the ‘40s with soft curls that sit just above the shoulder.

To put a modern twist on a ‘40s staple, Sebastian Professional lead stylist Thomas Dunkin recommends a method of building texture and shape with techniques that keep the hair looking soft, romantic and not too “done.” Finish with an elastic touchable texturizer or flexible shine spray to create a look that’s elegant yet playful. Here’s how to create your own ‘40s inspired faux bob:

1) Apply Sebastian Professional Texturizer to damp hair; distribute evenly throughout.
2) Blow hair out straight with a medium to large-sized round brush.
3) Spray hair with a flexible hairspray for added texture, section hair, curl it with a medium-sized barrel curling iron and set.
4) Take out pins, gently brush out the curls and then roll hair under, section by section, fastening it under at the neck with bobby pins.
5) Apply Microweb Fiber to hands and gently work through the front of the hair to create an imperfect, lived-in effect. Finish by misting with a strong-hold hairspray.

Backstage Hair at Thakoon’s Spring ’10 Show

Sneak Peak: Backstage Action at Thakoon’s Spring ’10 Show during New York Fashion Week.

Here’s a Behind the Scenes Look at the “Kick-ass Hair” created by Eugene Souleiman (Global Creative Director) and Eva Scrivo (Master Colorist) for Wella Professionals.

Thakoon’s Spring ’10 collection demonstrates the dichotomy of east meets west by combining contrasting textures with tight and loose elements. The hair style reflects a surfer meets samurai look with a sleek half pulled back ponytail knot and the remaining bottom half flows down the back into beach tousled waves. Hair color completes the look! Eva Scrivo hand painted extensions with Color Touch demi-permanent with contrasting light and dark tones to create a beautifully, cohesive color palette of natural shades with excellent dimension and shine.

Lindsay Lohan’s Debut As The Creative Director For Ungaro

I haven’t seen Ungaro’s Spring 2010 collection which was debuted during Paris Fashion Week this weekend, but I must admit, I’m very curious. Lindsay Lohan was recently appointed to be Ungaro’s Creative Director and this was Lindsay’s first presentation. Lindsay collaborated with Spanish designer Estrella Archs for this show.

What do you think guys, would Lindsay Lohan make a brilliant fashion designer or she should just stick to acting?
