This incredible balayage was done by the “queen of balayage”, Juane van der Walt, at Haus of Klue, Roodepoort. Here’s how Juane achieved this gorgeous effect. The balayage was done with Pravana, a pure light balayage bleach, in diagonal sections from the nape to the front harline, with a backcombing technique and then covered in foil. Diagonal sections were then taken on the left and right side. The Toner: A mix of Inebrya Rose Gold with Wella Professional 0/65. Shampoo and Conditioner: Label M Intensive Repair shampoo and conditioner were used for intensive protein replacement and moisture, to ensure optimal repair. Styling: Label M Smoothing Cream was used for frizz control, and Protein Spray for healing and protection. Heat Protection Spray was added before styling and Radiance Oil after styling with a ghd iron. Labelmuk Rejeven8 Complex added healing benefits and lightweight control.

THOM BROWNE: Trend: super slicked-back International icon Eugene Souleiman received an unusual brief – designer Thom Browne wanted the models to have hair so super-slicked back that it almost gave the impression they were bald – like a mannequin before the wig is added. This other-worldly and imaginative trend was achieved in the most artistic and beautiful way. To create this intense smoothness, Eugene used plenty of Wella’s EIMI stay Essential and EIMI Sculpt Force, brushed in with ghd’s Narrow Dressing Brush and dried with a ghd Air Dryer, used with a net held tight against the hair to ensure total smoothness. The result: Living sculptures! VALENTINO: Trend: Natural Texture For Valentino’s show, Guido Paulo created very natural hair which emphasised the models’ individual hair textures. It’s clear that curls play an important part in this trend, but they are very subtle – an easy, natural looking beach wave, with a messy middle parting. The product used to achieve this was Redken’s No Blow Dry Cream, applied on damp hair, followed by waves created with a curling iron. The hair was then finished by Redken’s Fashion Work 12, to smooth the flyaways around the hairline.
