Get Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Catwalk Hair with Pantene

Vivienne Westwood’s A/W 10 featured models adorned in delightful fairy-inspired dresses, with pageboy twists and peasant blouses. This panto-esque look was recreated in the hair and makeup which featured dramatic eyes, bow lips and waffle textured hair. Waffle style hair is a new take on the old fashioned trend of crimping, and used to create a masculine yet soft style for the head.

Sam McKnight, Global Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V, helped create this look, which she designated ‘Prince Charming’, due to its androgynous feel.

Here are her tips on recreating this style at home.

Comb Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Mousse through the hair to add texture then blow dry.
Part hair in the centre and roughly divide into five sections, taking hair from the upper layer only, about 2 inches above the ear. Braid each of the five sections tightly, starting a couple of inches from the roots.
Once braided, mist each section with a protective layer of Pantene Pro-Volume and Body Hairspray
Using straightening irons, work along the braid, from roots to ends, pressing the braid between the plates of the iron to dry.
Undo the braids and brush through, then gather hair into a loose ponytail, low on the neck.
Fold the ends on the ponytail under and tuck under the hair at the nape, pinning with grips to secure strongly.
Finish the look by smoothing over with Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance leave in Conditioner on hair from the parting, to flatten the hair on the top of the head. Allow loose tendrils to escape giving the appearance of beautiful imperfection.
