Sleek and sculpted is the favoured way of styling hair this season, making gel – and lots of it – the breakaway product of autumn/winter 2019.
At Mary Katrantzou, stylist Anthony Turner concieved a sideswept, easy air-dried look lightly gelled using L’Oréal Wild Stylers Beach Waves, before spritzing L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium and clipping it on the side with a single bobby pin.
Where as at Burberry, hairstylist Guido Palau created decadent twirls from model’s fringes and baby hairs and gelled them to the forehead to form a statement swirl. Here are the products you need to create your own slicked-back look…
