KEVAN HALL

Hair lead: Andy Bodine for ghd.

“Timeless American”-Kevan Hall

Watch my interview with ghd’s lead hair stylist, Andy Bodine, backstage at Kevan Hall during LA Fashion Week.

The Look:
Inspired by Adrian, a famous costume designer of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the collection featured classic, chic designs with a modern take.

The ghd Way:
Loose waves with a deep side part pulled into a low chignon for a glamorously feminine look to compliment the collection.

First, the ghd Directive Team applied ghd fat hair lotion to models’ dry hair. The product was then heat activated using a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment, which created body and texture. Next, a light mist of ghd sea spray was worked through the hair to infuse even more texture and hold. Using the ghd IV styler, a slight finger wave was created by gently rocking the styler back and forth starting at the crown and continuing all the way to the ends. Hair was pulled back at the nape of the neck and secured in a ponytail. Then, ghd polishing serum was applied to the ponytail to smooth out any flyaways as the hair was then twisted into a low chignon and secured with bobby pins. Finally, ghd ultimate hairspray was used to finish and hold the look.

WHITLEY KROS

Hair lead: Andy Bodine for ghd.

“A romantic adventure through Morocco, Africa and Greece”-Marissa Ribisi & Sophia Coloma, Whitley Kros designers.

The Look:
Relaxed, colorful, and all-around fun to reflect Whitley’s safari adventures in Africa and a romantic Grecian getaway.

The ghd Way:
A laid-back, soft and textured top knot with loose ends-perfect for Whitley Kros’ whimsical, yet chic traveling style.

First, the ghd Directive Team sprayed ghd sea spray into hair, then blow dried to create texture. Hair was then finger-combed into a high ponytail for a slightly messy effect. ghd polishing serum was applied to ends of the ponytail to tame flyaways, and the hair was then twisted into a knot and secured with bobby pins, leaving the ends free. A final light mist of ghd ultimate hairspray finished and secured the look.

ghd’s revolutionary styling irons and thermal protecting hair beauty range are available at great salons across the globe and in Sephora, as well as online at www.ghdhair.com  and www.sephora.com .

Harry’s projection for Red Carpet ’09 Hair – “I think we are going to see a lot of hair down and not as long as in past years. Less layers, more clean brushed, sleek looks.”

“Amy is so down to earth and doesn’t ever take herself too seriously,” says Harry. “She wanted her hair to fit her personality and also her chic yet simple dress. So we went with a look that was loose and very easy-going.”

Harry’s Quick & Easy How To Get Amy Poehler’s Emmy Hair:

Step 1: Harry started by shampooing her hair with the John Frieda Lustrous Touch Sheer Blonde Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner to make it silky, then toweled it dry. To give it lots of volume, Harry applied a palm sized amount of the new John Frieda Luxurious Volume Bountiful Body Mousse from root to end to add some volume.

Step 2: Next, he sprayed her roots with the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster Spray to give the crown some extra lift. Make sure not to spray the whole head – focus on the roots only – to keep from weighing hair down. Then he blew her hair dry in sections
