Luminous, Romantic Waves from L’Oréal Professionnel

These luminous, romantic waves—created by top stylist Leonardo Mannetti for L’Oréal Professionnel for the Autumn/Winter Jenny Packham show—are weightless, with plenty of bounce, thanks to the Texture Expert line and new Mythic Oil. “My inspiration was a younger ‘girl about town,’” says Leonardo. “I wanted the girls to look modern, pretty and effortlessly undone.” These gleaming waves are a chic, elegant look for any special occasion.
