BTC EXCLUSIVE: Guido’s Sleek French Twist for Oscar de la Renta

close formula

Oscar de la Renta is the epitome of high fashion and elegance, and at his Fall/Winter 2015 show, Redken Global Creative Director, Guido, delivered nothing less. Putting a modern touch on a classic French twist, Guido raked the hair back using his fingers, leaving comb marks in the hair before adding Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Hairspray and Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist to complete the look. The result is sleek and sophisticated with major ‘wow’ factor.

 

“The look at Oscar de la Renta this season is very elegant and classic—very uptown chic. Though the finished look is very done, there’s a sense of ease to it,” notes Guido. “I prepped the hair first with Redken Stay High 18 because you need some grip and hold to achieve the style. The key here is to secure the French twist at the back of the neck, making sure it’s flat and tight against the head, which creates a super beautiful profile.”
