ADVANCED HAIR: Sleek men’s hairstyles backstage at Vanishing Elephant from Redken for Men hair director Jon Pulitano.
“For the men, the look was a loose interpretation of the 1950s quiff, but with a modern take. The way we transformed the look to bring some modernity was to make the lines of the hair really linear and angular. There’s no strictness to this look; it’s all fluid with just a slight nod to the 50s”

Getting beach perfect hair is not as hard as it seems- Redken for Men hairstylist Richard Kavanagh explains how to get this summer’s best looks..
Jack wears O’Niell wetsuit. Get his hair by spreading a small amount of Redken for Men Maneuver Working Wax between your hands and rub it through dry hair, moving the hands in a figure eight shape, to create a messy matt finish texture.
Jimi wears Burberry Prorsum shirt. Get his hair by working about half a teaspoonful of Redken for Men Outplay Texture Putty through medium length hair. Using your hands flip the hair from side to side, creating texture and a disheveled finish.
Jimi wears Prada knit. Get his hair by rubbing Redken for Men Get Groomed Finishing Cream through damp hair, comb with a wide tooth comb and let hair air dry. When it’s dry, run your fingers through it to break it up- creating a more casual look.
Get Jack’s hair by applying a generous amount of Redken for Men Stand Tough Extreme Gel to washed towel dried hair. Comb across to one side with a clean side part, pushing the front over and back to create a classic pressed pompadour.

Although we only saw a handful of menswear during Fashion Week, the direction on hair was fairly strong. Taking a look backstage, the Redken style team had the mens shows completely covered.
Shorter styles have been given a sculptured and architectural look, often with fringing around the face. Strong hold was also key, adding texture and direction. I also noticed a re-emergence of the semi wet look- in keeping with the obvious sportswear trend seen on the runway.
From what I can gather, and under the advice of the Redken stye team- the best way to get this look is two products… Redken For Men Work Hard maximum control moulding paste and Redken For Men Outplay maximum control texture putty. DO try this at home.
