Raising her long hair is an intuitive, natural and ultra feminine gesture. And we have all our little tricks and tricks as soon as our mane becomes too heavy. Odile Gilbert, hairdresser on the most prestigious fashion shows, explains: " I imagine my new ways of tying hair by observing women on a daily basis. Some have a real gift, they know how to twist their hairstyle in two gestures, without a mirror. But, this season, the exercise takes a more sophisticated turn. »Hairstyles in plaits and twists, curved pony-tails, asymmetrical chignons: the autumn-winter parades raised the tie to the rank of art. "The challenge is to create an intriguing, original volume, always keeping a flexible and brilliant material, " she says.

Good news, the braid is no longer just a summer look. Odile Gilbert reinterpreted it for the parade Alexis Mabille, inspired by a statue of a bather wearing a trio of mats. A complex headdress, both tribal and very aristocratic . To achieve this, the lengths must be lengthened with foam and the hair separated into three parts in order to make three braids: one from the forehead, previously gathered in a ponytail with an elastic, and two others plated from temples. The work of separation at the base is essential to have a net result. Then join them with elastic at the top of the skull and twist the remaining lengths with a brush (or iron) before ironing a section in the elastic to form a pretty comma. The trick of Odile Gilbert? " Lacquer is indispensable but it has a drying side because of the alcohol it contains. To tackle and discipline without too much sticking, I use a little detangling rubbed between the fingers ; I then knead the wicks and polish the stripes. The braids are much easier to do and I keep the lacquer only for the finish. "

In its version 2012-2013 it is sophisticated and shifts slightly on one or the other side, when it does not slip squarely forward of the head to lengthen the silhouette and give a haughty port. Seb Bascle, hairdresser studio ambassador for L'Oréal Professionnel, tried to exercise during the parade Manish Arora. " You have to work your hair with a flat brush by misting them regularly with lacquer and then make a sort of ponytail upside down, bringing all the hair to the front. Everything must be well pulled and tackled. Then fasten with two elastics to gain height and wrap the lengths to create a small vertical chignon: it must have an eight shape rather than a ball. Secure with pins so as to release some feather-like tips. Seb Bascle has his little trick to create this effect: " Spread a little powder or paste fixing and mattifying with the flat of the hand, from the neck to the tie, and let some small hair temples. "

Jewelry: and if, instead of poking his favorite brooch or his vintage cameo on his sweater, we slipped them into our hair?

Another option: the small old-fashioned combs to hang on a creped material.
The sewing thread: finished the elastic and the pins, one "sews" his head with a thread of resistant linen that grips well the hair, passed in a wooden needle, to create invisible fasteners and very flexible hulls. Sewing Kit Couture Kit by Kevin Murphy, 24, at the Bon Marché.
