Create the Look: Midtown

CREATE THE LOOK: MIDTOWN

Inspired by the staggering high-rises, roaring streets, and metropolitan slipstream of the busiest neighborhood in New York City, Charlie le Mindu created three iconic looks to capture the rich history and relationship between Manhattan and Paris, evoking the air of "the new Parisian chic" alluded to in Olivier's most recent Men's show. Discover the tools, products, and techniques used and recreate the looks. 

 

NATALIE

· Combine Leave-in Conditioning Spray with Argan Moisturizing Elixir  to create the ultimate styling surface, softening and strengthening the hair. 

· For extra texture apply the Volume Mousse Strong on the roots and the Texturizing Salt Spray on lengths and ends, this will give grip, body and definition. 

· Fix the hair styling using the Session Spray Strong.

 

 

 

MAGDALENO

· Combine Leave-in Conditioning Spray with Argan Moisturizing Elixir  to create the ultimate styling surface, softening and strengthening the hair. 

· To create the wet look effect, apply slightly more Argan Moisturizing Elixir and lightly tousle through the hair. 

· When extra shine and definition is desired, apply Shine Wax for style longevity, sheen, and to seperate curls. 

 

 

ALTON

· Combine Leave-in Conditioning Spray with Argan Moisturizing Elixir  to create the ultimate styling surface, softening and strengthening the hair. 

· Use the Thermal Protection Spray to protect the hair from external heat, using a blowdryer & short brush to sculpt the hair profile & diffuse-dry the curls to prevent flyaways. 

· Spray Silk Perfume all over the hair to add extra shine and conditioning. 

· Finish it off with the Balmain Homme Hair Perfume.
