Creatures of the Wind undone twists

With Amy Abramite on the Kérastase Artistic Team supporting Odile Gilbert.

Big hair ruled at Creatures of the Wind, where half-done braids, twists and teased tresses were bundled with rubbery accessories to create mega-sized, messy chignons. In front, strands were fashioned into glamorous swoops, juxtaposing the intricate texture in back. Lead stylist Odile gilbert created the look by applying Kérastase Mousse Substantive and Lotion Densitive to damp hair, then scrunching with her fingers while drying. She would sections into curls, twists and the front section. She then teased the front portions of the hair, fashioning the swoops, and secured the ends beneath the style. She finished with a shot of gold glitter and Kérastase Double Force Hairspray.
