Models Direct: London Fashion Week Backstage Hair and Beauty Style Tips.

Models Direct have had a great time reviewing all that’s been going on at London’s fashion week, and although we’re all a little sad it’s over, we have, on the positive side of things gathered up some great beauty and hair style tips from all the backstage happenings. Read on to discover some of our favourite style tips to have come from London Fashion Week’s dressing rooms.

[UKPRwire, Wed Sep 29 2010] HAIRSPRAY – Hairstylists at all shows across London Fashion Week could not seen without their trusted can of hairspray, always by their side. Hairspray is of course great for keeping any style in shape. At the Badgley Mischka show stylists used lots of spray to keep high ponytails in place.

NEON – Neon continued to be popular at this season’s London Fashion Week, with fashion designers such as Victoria Beckham and Peter Som using it on their catwalks. Models Direct loved the neon flicks painted onto models’ eyes at the Peter Som show. Imitate this look to glam up your eyes for a night out.

TEXTURE – Hair at the Matthew Williamson show was all about texture with fluffy ends and slick, wet-look roots. If you fancy trying this style at home then begin by working backwards. Hairstylists for the show began by styling the ends of the hair first, and then adding lots of serum to the roots, working it gradually through the hair.

BLOWDRY CHEAT - If you’re in a rush but want that ‘just blow-dried look’ then try this great tip from London Fashion Week. Hairstylists clipped the top section of the hair up, then curled the underneath hair slightly at the roots and brushed through to give the hair that much loved body. The top layer of hair then sat neatly on top.

GOLDEN GLOW – With the summer months behind us we’re already starting to miss that summer glow, so why not cheat and fake it like they did at London Fashion Week. Marios Schwab used several light layers of St Tropez and finished off with a St Tropez bronzer to give the tan a more natural look.

BIG HAIR – The 1960’s bouffant and beehive are back. Great examples of the hairstyle were used on the Sass & Bide runway. The hairstylists applied lots of mousse to the hair giving the extra volume needed for the style. If you fancy trying this at home then a great tip is to do it on hair that hasn’t been washed for a few days as it will be much easier to style.
