Tired of humidity crushing your well maintained locks? Well maybe it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and try out this “perfect for any humid day” top-knot. Inspired by the Miu Miu resort show and created by the ultimate hair whisperer, Redken’s Guido Palau, this look will have you ready for those sweltering summer days.
“The inspiration for the Miu Miu Resort show was the 80’s club kids. First, I applied Redken’s Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine to the hair, concentrating on the ends and the fluffy hairs around the hairline to give the hair an almost sweaty look. Then, I gathered the hair into a ponytail, twisting it into a loose unstructured, arrogant topknot. Pieces were pulled out to fall over the eyes like the girls had been dancing all night in a hot night club.”– Guido
