Patio season is finally here! And with it, the requisite flirting. Make an impression with these four runway-inspired looks. Elle Canada spoke with the experts to show you how to get them:
If you’re pressed for time between afternoon sunbathing and evening partying, Mathieu Bouchard, marketing and education manager with Kérastase, has tips on how to get tousled waves — such as these, for Ruffian — without much fuss. First he recommends applying a quarter-sized amount of Ciment Thermique on damp hair to strengthen from within. Massage through starting with the ends and spreading throughout the rest of the hair.
Then braid the hair with the product on it; the heat of a blow-dryer will activate the Ciment Thermique. When the hair is dry, untie the braids and pass your fingers through your hair. Or you can create the same effect using an embossed curling iron. Accentuate its use on several hair locks.
Next, revive hair with Spray Volumactive, which gives hair body and fullness while providing it with an anti-static effect. Spray the product lock by lock. You can also apply it lightly on the roots to increase the volume effect.
Finish the look by gently spraying hair with Double Force Controle Ultime, which, as a bonus, includes a UV filter and a high concentration of fixing polymers for extra-strength hold. Now you’re ready for sunset cocktails!
