Flat-out amazing. How about this: If any YOU recreate this look, send me a photo and next Friday, I’ll give one of you a GA.MA Laser Ion Tourmaline Flat Iron 1″ ($140.00 value).
And now, back to the show:

All we have is Twit-pics at the moment but soon as there’re glossies, will post!
1. Follow the Twitter buzz on McQueen.
2. How long do you think that took to style?
Stylist Jean Marc of Pipino Nolita salon invited us backstage for a How-To do the ‘do he and Ric Pipino created for the Rosa Cha fashion show at New York Fashion Week. See!

Hair-ventures. What do you think? Have you tried Revolution In Cut yet? What are your thoughts on the concept of products that target your cut? And, will you wear the top chignon?
The whirlwind that is New York Fashion Week attracted trendsetters from all across the globe and HairJunky was there to scout out the newest hairstyles and how-tos for spring. From backstage and the front row, here are a few of our favorite finds and snapshots.
Top chignons (not to be confused with top buns) at Rosa Cha, by Ric Pipino and Jean Marc of Pipino Nolita and the Revolution in Cut product line. Yes, the dynamic duo from our salon visit a couple of weeks ago. (We shot a bunch of video that day that I’m still working on. One of the clips is uploading as we speak. Stay tuned!)
Ric and Jean did the hair for the Rosa Cha show and then alice + olivia immediately afterward and we were lucky enough to tag along.

Another highlight of the week was Logan Neitzel’s presentation, which I actually helped produce. (You may remember him from Project Runway?) He and I have mutual hairstylist friends from Gene Juarez Salons in Seattle and the whole crew of them (6 total) flew out to NY to style the show. They brought pre cut and colored wigs that they could fit on the girls and then style quickly. Clever, I thought. And it made for lighter suitcases. The models liked the idea less though – an hour into the show I had to sneak them backstage one at a time to snip the elastic on the inside of the wig to loosen it.
Bonus: The stylists left us with a duffel bag full of products.

P.S. I’d wear everything Neitzel makes, but my favorite piece to date are his leather epaulettes. To me, they serve the same purpose as the messy bangs and ponytail look: add a little toughness to something soft or polished.
And if I had to stand behind one trend from the week though, it’d be the 70s hair (and clothes, makeup, accessories …). The best thing about that decade is that the there was a hairstyle for every hair texture. Curly? Go big with it and embrace an afro. Wavy? Try feathered layers ala Farrah Faucet. Straight? We all know that one: center part, long and sleek and if you’re really in the mood, try a headband around your crown.

Phew Fashion Week. Back to business as usual. Have a great weekend!

This is one of my favorite times of the year. New York overflows with models, photographers and all sorts of fashion-ists. There are more shows than any single body can attend but it’s fun (and exhausting) to try. With three days remaining and my heels hardly intact, let’s pause for a sec to take a look at what’s hot in hair so far:
Alexander Wang
The BFF of the cool girls and master of slouchy style stepped lightly this season, trading in the wet greasy grunge for white and painted hair. Models looked like angelic versions of the warriors we’ve seen so much of recently and the painted sections resembled feathers – a curious result.
The skin was also to-die-for. Dewy, radiant and a bit silver. Somehow, even the septum piercing seemed pretty. (Sorry, mom.)
“Spring was also a reaction to the ubiquity of a look that [Wang] had a hand in popularizing: ‘If everyone does a skinny jean and motorcycle jacket, it isn’t new anymore, is it?’” – Style.com

Marc Jacobs
He said: 70s. We said: Frizz! Surreal. So fine. If you’ve got it naturally, get ready to embrace. If not, I suggest:
Jacobs wasn’t the only one to reference The Me Decade. Halston’s (of course) hippie hair was unabashed:
Most Creative goes to Carolina Herrera who was inspired by “the traditional clothes of Korea, and botanical plates collected in the eighteenth century.”
(Genius, why have I never seen a hair-covered clip??)
Hair at Diane von Furstenberg was a very simple messy bun …
… balanced by AHmazing makeup.
Are these photos not candy?!
It was more poppy makeup and bangs for everyone at Preen:

And what about the beloved side braid? I spotted one at Lela Rose but predict a phase out. To be replaced with … ??? it may be too soon to say…

Two more days remain before the shows move to London where we’ll surely see more inspiring styles. Any favorite looks so far?
Immediately I can say that it’s refreshing to see lightness and polish. I won’t be waiting until spring to pretty-up.
Oloffbeauty, the sponsor of the Barex Italiana’ s hair team for New York Fashion Week, just sent us some fun press about the hair created for Monique Lhuillier’s show: Buns, braided with black satin. Simple, lovely and …. it kind of reminds me of a modern Scrunchie (yep, went there). My list of hair tricks to try is growing by the hour.
Photos, videos, how-to’s and products, here ya go!

(Word is they’ll have step-by-step how-tos in the next couple of days; I’ll let you know!)

THE LOOK
“The collection had a strong Chinese warrior theme, so I decided to create a graphic, high-shine knotted sculpture on the top of the models’ heads. I really wanted the style to seem more like a piece of fabric than hair. I didn’t want anything soft or realistic.” Rudi Lewis, Barex Style Team Leader.
THE PRODUCTS
Hair was sprayed with Barex Gloss Hairspray, divided into sections and pulled up to the crown and tied into little ponytails. These were soaked with Barex Volumizzante Spray and Barex Tricolife Serum and then braided with black satin. Fabric-hair braid was then piled up and pinned in place – finished with Gloss Hairspray.
More details on the hair from Modern Salon, WWD and OK magazine, and the Fashion at Style.com.
ION Salon Facebook update says our friend Leo (stylist from Hair-venture photo shoots: Virgin Mobile and HerCut) did some pretty special hair for the Timo Weiland show.
The Fashion Spot says it was 1960′s-inspired and Manetti used Davines products – (sounds about right – that’s what I scouted at his salon during my New ‘Do) ”specifically, the Defining Creative Moulding Foam and the Defining Glam Power Spray”. Searching Folica – do we stock?
Score one, yes! Davines Defining Creative Moulding Foam
Score two: Davines Defining Glam Power Spray
Elle mag blog has a behind-the-scenes video of the hair test! See Leo, see ION, I love it! Happy to see success going to deserving.
He calls the look “The Age of Innocence meets Gangs of New York.” Watch:
Photos and How-To compliments of The Fashion Spot:
STEP 1: Manetti coated hair with the Davines Defining Creative Moulding Foam. It’s an alcohol-free foam that moulds, sculpts and sets hair with strong memory for all day hold and control.
STEP 2: Next he brushed and backcombed the hair lightly while drying it to add volume.
STEP 3: The hair was then sprayed with Davines Glam Power Spray to increase volume and add texture.

STEP 4: Manetti parted the hair into three sections, working his way from the forehead to the nape of the neck.
STEP 5: He parted the front section over the left brow and brushed it flat towards the right securing it in a ponytail behind the right ear.
STEP 6: He then backcombed the remaining two sections to create more volume, and twisted the sections together into in organic French twist.

Earlier this week, theCut covered Fashion Week’s bun trend:

We saw it at the twentyten’s fall 2010 fashion presentation too, though they interpreted it with synthetic hair and leather swim caps.

What do you think? Work-day wearable, or weekend-only? Reminds me of the doll hair idea.
I’d like to see this look done for nighttime. Maybe add a headband or some feathers. I’ll give it a run here soon and report back. If you beat me to it – send los fotos!
Happy Thursday!
