Hair by Mana Dave, Redken NZ Creative Director
The hair story for Federation is a twist on the classic “Cool girl” hair, getting playful with a braid and a nod to the accessory trend with an understated bow. It’s hair that’s ready for summer with that next day texture that we all love when you take out a braid that you’ve slept in over night. Polished texture that looks effortless.

Create the look:
•Layer and blowdry Fabricate 03 through the hair to add a natural sheen and more grit. Continue to spray and blowdry hair until it has a more lived in feel. This will make it easier for styling.
•Create a large rectangle section on top of the head and clip the top away for a moment.
•Move to the underneath area and create small braids. Spray each braid with Iron Shaper 11 and then use a flat iron to heat compress the braid. Continue through the remaining hair, allowing each braid to cool and move back into the top area.
•Apply Pillow Proof Two Day Extender and Powder Grip 03 into the top area for more volume. Pull back towards the crown and start to fishtail braid until you are about a third of the way from the ends and secure with a clear hair tie before adding a bow created with satin ribbon to conceal the hair tie.
Back in the underneath area, release each braid, raking your fingers through the texture to soften and finish with a light spray of Fashion Work 12 hairspray.
