To dry hair in 5 minutes chrono, to obtain beautiful natural ripples or, on the contrary, ultra-smooth lengths without iron: review of the methods employed by the hairdressers on fashion shows.
Express drying
Paul Hanlon is formal. To dry the hair of the mannequins in record time, he uses the Dyson Supersonic: " It is light, it makes little noise and it is especially super powerful, it is really ideal for the parades. precious time . " "he confides to us from the start. And with good reason, equipped with a digital engine, this hairdryer with futuristic aesthetics has the merit of being 8 times faster than the traditional models, projecting a homogeneous and targeted air. So it is not surprising that it has been spotted at the hands of all the hairstylists in backstage parades ...

A capped-disheveled effect
Very much in vogue for some seasons, the effect "out of bed" is very requested by the creators. At least, Paul Hanlon explains that, in order to meet these artistic guidelines, the Dyson Supersonic diffuser tip is preferably used with minimal heat to simulate natural drying. The head (and hair) back, the mannequin is thus drying hair in packs, the hairdresser gradually ascending from the tips to the root, creating a capped-disheveled effect in the air of time. A technique that can be reproduced easily in his bathroom with, for difference only, the need to put his head forward, failing to have a good soul to play assistants hairdresser.

A smoothing ... without smoothing iron
Who said that you need a flattening iron to get rid of stubborn curls? In the backstage of the Balmain fashion show, the models are given a few doses of moisturizing care and smoothing spray before starting an intensive drying session, at maximum power, with the smooth tip of the Dyson Supersonic. In a few minutes, they get a smooth, silky hair, whose fiber has not been burned by the aggressive heat of a straightening iron.

Wavy ripples
There is nothing like a slightly wavy hair to offer a contemporary look. In order to avoid going through the box to be looped or heating rollers, often fatal for the hair fiber, we take again the technique of the teams of Paul Hanlon. According to him, it is enough to plait part or the whole of the hair and then wind it, flat, on the pins of the diffuser end of the Dyson Supersonic. The heat thus propagated, with more or less intensity depending on the desired effect, makes it possible to modulate the hair and obtain the desired undulations once the braid is defeated. A simple and effective technique.

Natural extensions
For a particular occasion or simply to correct a length of hair that no longer suits us, the capillary extensions can prove to be of invaluable help. Usually made of synthetic fibers, they are given a more natural effect by reproducing this trick used in the backstages of the parade John Galliano: after braiding the wick, the hairstylists apply to him, like on real hair, a hazelnut of texturizer before Dyson Supersonic and its concentrator nozzle for blow drying. Result? Our extensions look truer than life.
