INSPIRATION Joan of Arc inspired strong and feminine warrior
TIPSTECHNIQUE Emilys dress was intricately designed and textured, so we aimed to replicate a textured look in her hair as well. The Dutch braid, also known as a fish tail, was the final look we landed on because it showed femininity but with an un-done texture. To start, I applied The One by Frederic Fekkai One to Believe In Leave-In Conditioner and blow dried using the FHI Heat Platform Limited Edition Chrome Hair Dryer in Rose Gold. Once the hair was dried, I twisted strands around my fingers to begin creating texture. I also used the FHI Heat Platform 1 12 Professional Curler to make the hair even more wavy. Once heat styling was complete, I added the The One by Frederic Fekkai One and Then Some Dry Texturizing Spray and raked through my fingers, so Emilys hair would swell up, and create a thicker texture for a bulkier, fuller braid. To finish the styling, I secured the braid in a halo or horseshoe shape at the back of the head and used the FHI Heat Platform Plus Curve 1 Styling Iron to smooth the layers framing Emilys face. Neil Lane vintage jewels were entwined in the braid to add a glamourous touch. To hold the look in place, I very lightly sprayed The One by Frederic Fekkai One to Hold Hairspray. In this case, I used the hairspray to maintain the texture we created, not to secure flyaways as these were part of the look and only added texture.
