Balmain Edgy Chic

Glam rock, this season’s Balmain featured a collection of gemstone liquid metallics of ruby red, emerald green and space age silver, all magnified with oversized shoulders with an eighties rock kick. With cinched in waists, embellishments and accessories galore, the hair scraped back for a slick but yet unpolished look.

Texture and volume is essential to this look, whilst a slick of shine finishes the look. Use Balmain Paris Volume Mousse for a tousled texture and Balmain Paris Session Spray Strong to re-Create this laid back look.

Step 1.

Rough dry your hair, leaving it slightly damp and allow hair to fall into its natural parting.

Step 2.

Comb back from the hairline into a smooth finish and mist with Balmain Session Spray Strong (£18.95), spritzing it from lengths to ends and ensuring you work in the product using your fingertips to break up the pieces and create texture.

Step 3.

Refresh your look and keep slick by wiping wet hands over the top of your head. Balmain Paris Session Spray Strong offers a lightweight firm hold hairspray which helps to amplify your look whilst calming flyaways and keeping your look sleek and finished.

Balmain Tousled Texture

Step 1.

Use Balmain Paris Volume Mousse to build body and texture in fine hair, boosting volume and lift, whilst also shielding your hair from heat styling. Create a textured look by working a small amount of Balmain Paris Volume Mousse (£18.95) through damp hair. Concentrate on the roots to create added volume at the crown.

Step 2.

Rough dry hair upside down to add maximum volume and root lift and after hair is dry, take a wide barrel curling tong and curl large twisted sections of hair around the barrel (with the ends of the hair out) to create large waves with straight ends.

The Balmain Paris Hair Styling Kit is available exclusively to BeautyMART now and throughout the giving (and receiving) season priced at £60, www.thisisbeautymart.com.
