Backstage at Balenciaga with Redken Global Creative Director Guido

Adding to the ease of Alexander Wang’s last collection for Balenciaga, Redken Global Creative Director Guido created loose, low ponytails for the models – and celebrities – on the runway at the Spring/Summer 2016 show.

"It’s a very simple, minimalistic look at Balenciaga this season, but still very modern and fresh. I really wanted the focus of the hair to be this very smooth, beautiful texture, so I blow-dried the hair using Redken’s glow dry and satinwear 02 to create that silky, luxurious feeling. Then, I simply pulled the hair back into very loose, low ponytail that’s sort-of falling out and tucked the hair behind the ears for a sense of ease and effortlessness.” Guido

Get the Look: 

1. Spray Redken pillow proof blow dry express primer all over damp hair and comb through.

2. Apply 4 – 5 pumps of Redken glow dry style-enhancing blow-dry oil throughout damp hair.

3. Work a nickel-size amount of Redken satinwear 02 prepping blow-dry lotion into damp hair.

4. Use fingers to create a center part.

5. Gather hair into a messy low ponytail and secure with an elastic.
