SOFTLY DECONSTRUCTED LOOKS WITH A NATURAL MATTE FINISH

A return to simplicity…

“This season, it’s all about paring down the hair. Hair had a very modern feel, with styles that stayed close to the head. Loose hair was the exception, not the rule.”

“Ponytails, knots and half-ponytails had a casual, disheveled look that played perfectly against spring’s ladylike silhouettes.  Finishes were satin-matte, with an easy elegance.”

• Create the easiest updo, as seen at Calvin Klein:

Apply Redken blown away 09 protective blow-dry gel and blow-dry with a paddle brush.
