The updo seen at Prada was a nod to 'classic French hairdressing.' A lacquer finish and dramatic shape give the updo a modern, sculpted feel.The tousled side braid seen at Alexander Wang goes perfectly with the designer's take on American sportswear. "I describe the look as "urban romance," but it's not romantic hair in the usual sense-it's more for the city woman as the classically feminine braid has a bit of an edge to it," says Guido.This high-volume, high-texture look was inspired by style icons such as Diana Ross and Grace Coddington. "I boosted the volume and emphasized the matte texture to create a larger-than-life look with a playful touch," says Guido.This look was inspired by a French girl's style in the 1980's-it's easy and effortless, and looks like she's just come off the beach. Redken guts 10 gives it that wet look without actually having sopping wet hair.This is a styled-then-slept-in look. This model had a glamorous hairstyle the night before. This style captures that moment when she gets up the following day and steps out for a cup of coffee.Keeping with the brand's Italian heritage, Guido drew inspiration from classic Italian cinema. Fellini's work was an inspiration for this season. The soft braided updo with the delicate hair accessories is very old world and romantic. Overall, the style is soft, pretty, and classically beautiful. "It's also flattering on most women, which is wonderful, since women tend to be drawn to the Dolce & Gabanna look each season," says Guido.The collection this season felt more eclectic, so Guido wanted the hair at Valentino to be more whimsical and playful. "I created a simple part and added a little bit of height at the crown to give the hair a late 60s kind of feel. Regardless of these youthful subtitles, the vibe remained true to the brand's identity. The hair is beautiful and very Valentino," concludes Guido.
“Freedom is the territory; he's the explorer.”

CREDIT: Wedding Tresses"When doing updos, I work with large bobby pins. For the base, I spray a super-hard hairspray directly on each base pin. (It takes about three seconds for the spray to become rock-hard.) This not only creates a super-strong base, but it also keeps me from having to apply heavy amounts of hairspray to the exterior of the style, which would make it look forced and artificial." Jacki Norrie, owner of Wedding Tresses. Hair: Wedding Tresses Bridal Tip: Rock-Hard Base "Sometimes it's more advantageous to achieve a retro look by using old-fashioned tools. For this image, we rolled our bride's hair on rags to create an early 20th century impression." Sherri Jessee, bridal specialist.
