MBFW: Copy Derek Lam's Beachy Waves

Retro 60s looks and beachy hair: Casual chic at Derek Lam's spring show.
-PJ Gach

For Spring 2015, Derek Lam's palette was like a twilight sky in the Southwest. Pale lilacs, earth tones, blues, blacks and neutrals. The hair was soft, beachy, and casual chic, created by celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita. It's the perfect style to wear now. It's still hot, so go ahead, and be ahead of the pack. Below are the step-by-step directions.

1. Prep by spraying hair from roots to ends with Phyto Phytovolume Axtif and blowdry with T3 Featherweight Luxe 2I Dryer using a T3 Paddele Brush to allow air to circulate through the hair, giving it more texture and volume.

2. Ends are kept straight using the T3 SinglePlass 1” Straightening & Styling iron.

3. Use Phyto Professional Workable Holding Spray on the crown, and then set the crown section with a head wrap to achieve a more flattened, gritty look. Head wraps will remain on the models until the last possible minute to give a contrast between the mid-lengths and ends of the hair, and a more modern, textured look at the crown.

4. Ends and front pieces of the hair are given a hint of bend from the T3 Whirl trio Interchangeable Styling Wand using the 1.5” straight barrel. Front pieces and ends are then finished with a mixture of Phyto Professional Matte Texturizing Paste and PHYTO Phytolisse Ultra-Glossing Serum to give hair definition with the lightest touch of shine.
