RSFF 2010 Redken Hair Report: Ella Bache Splash Directed by Todd Arndt

Beautiful, bountiful, cascading curls never go out of fashion and are always a great way to embrace the freshness and lightness of spring, as seen at the Ella Baché Splash Swim and Resort wear show. “The hair has a fun, flirty, Barbie-esque softness with bounce and plenty of movement, seen as the girls strode down the runway. It really encapsulates that resort style, voluminous, glamorous hair,” said Todd Arndt, Redken Hair Director backstage at the show. The voluminous curls had a dry, airy texture and accessorized with cute ‘hello sailor’ hats, bows and braided headbands.

HOW TO:
1. Apply Redken Rootful 06 to the roots, lengths and ends of towel dried hair. Blow dry in and
create a centre part. This will help achieve a beautiful light, dry texture in the hair.
2. Beginning at the back, take one inch sections of hair and while holding the curling tong
vertically, wrap the hair around the wand. Curl the entire head of hair.
3. Set the curls as you go, by pinning them to the scalp and allowing them to cool. Once cool,
remove all pins. Using a soft boar bristle brush, gently relax the curls by brushing out the
lengths. Use your fingers to help align and shape the curls.
4. Expert Tip: For extra volume in the back lengths, crimp hair at the roots for an
added lift and a fuller look.
5. Finish with a healthy dose of Redken Workforce 09 for volume and flexible hold.

1. Redken Rootful 06 root lifting spray RRP $28.95
2. Redken Workforce 09 flexible volumizing spray RRP $25.95

Outplay for men’s cuts is a must-have, it gives a satin/matte finish and has a good hold. For heat protection, I prefer to use Spray Starch – it isn’t simply a thermal protectant but gives hair some structure as well.”
