LOW-DO
by Christopher Dove, Wella Professionals lead stylist and owner of The Doves Salon
Try it: Section two pieces from front of the pinnacle, clip away. Pull the remainder of the hair right into a low, tight ponytail on the nape. Mist a working spray like Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray, and use a broom to smooth. Twist the ponytail right into a rope to create a knotted bun on the base, secure with hairpins. Take front pieces, twist toward the top and wrap across the bun before securing in place.
DAPPER MAN
by Paul Wilson, artistic director, and Theri DeJoode, technical director, for American Crew
Try it: Create a typical horseshoe-shaped parting. Using a 1″ blade clipper with clipper comb, cut in a square high taper with full scalp coverage. Take a piece from the pinnacle, cut with a shallow depth and work to create a square primary shape. Detail the hairline with shear-over-comb technique. After applying American Crew Ultra Gliding Shave Oil, shave unwanted hair below the taper. Finish the look by applying American Crew SuperGlue on towel-dried hair, and comb the hair right into a sculpted square shape.
EASY WAVES
Interpreted by Damien Carney, Joico international artistic director
Try it: Beginning on the nape, create a horizontal section. Wrap midlengths and ends around a 2″ barrel iron. Alternate the direction of every curl and leave some ends uncurled to create plenty of textures, after which mist with dry shampoo. Spray hands with Power Spray and “skate” over the pinnacle to tame flyaways.
BLOW PERFECTION
by Sonya Dove for Nioxin
Try it: Spray Therm Active Protector evenly inside the hair for warmth protection. Mist the hair from roots to ends with Nioxin Thickening Spray for body with texture. Dropping a dime-sized amount of Definition Crème for shoulderlength hair into your hands, mix it and apply from mid-lengths to ends to protect against frizz and add shine. Blow-dry with a round brush that doesn’t cause stress to the hair. Finish the ends by lightly spraying Niospray Regular Hold.
