After testing an assortment of hairstyles with Miuccia Prada over the course of three days, hairstylist Guido struck gold with his reinvention of the French twist. "It's a classic style, but with the help of products to add texture, we're able to bring something new to the eye," says the Redken creative consultant. Inspired by the wavy manes of Greek marble statues, Guido simulated the sculptured hair "lumps" by first applying a thickener to make hair more mutable. Next, he pulled strands into a French twist and molded the top by teasing, backcombing, and pushing accordingly, finishing with Redken's Quick Dry 18 hairspray for a lacquered look. "The runway is exaggerated," Guido admits. "And it's important that there be extremities in beauty as well."
