Runway Hair Inspiration

Salvatore Ferragamo

"These girls have an updated version of that gorgeous '70s hair that manages to be both cool and sexy at the same time," says Luigi Murenu, global creative consultant for John Frieda and runway hair expert. (He's styled over 25 fashion shows in his career!) MAKE IT WORK AT HOME According to Murenu, there's just one tool needed for these alluring waves: "A 1-inch curling iron!" Of course, mounds and mounds of shiny, healthy hair certainly don't hurt.

 RUNWAY INSPIRATION "I was thinking about slick, modern women when I created this style," says Murenu. "I absolutely loved the way the girls looked in profile with that low, tucked braid." MAKE IT WORK AT HOME "This is one of the easiest looks to translate at home. Just create a low clean braid, roll it up, and pin in place at the nape of the neck."

Vera Wang

Vera Wang's collection was inspired by French icons like Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot and so was the sky-high updo created by Bumble and bumble hairstylist Jimmy Paul. He teased the crown for height then pinned the hair into a French twist. "I pinned it very soft with loose tendrils it’s sexy," he said. Models with fine hair had their ends dosed with Bumble and bumble Surf Spray for a "halo effect." He also took special care to cover each models' ears and mess up the back to keep the style modern.
