Adir Abergel’s inspiration for Sandra Bullock: Effortless beauty – Modern and carefree style
Inspiration: A modern undone look, perfect for an evening out
The first look is a sculptural and edgy ponytail. It’s modern, young and sexy. The texture tells a story through the wet and twisted hard hair. Pieces are left in front for an effortless feel, inspired by some of the graphic trends shown in the collections. To achieve this look:
The second look is a modern, angelic take on a tousled, bohemian style. It’s dramatic, yet romantic and very wearable. Hair is full and voluminous with an airy soft texture that allows for movement as you walk. Pieces are left in front to frame the face and accentuate the jewelry shown in the collections. To achieve this look:
Inspiration: Sixties chic to match her vintage inspired Dior Dress
Abergel started by blow drying the hair with a Fekkai Large Round Brush applying Fekkai Full Blown Volume™ Lifting Hairspray at the roots to create some height for the updo. After blow drying, he let the hair cool around rollers in order to maximize volume. He then combed the top of the hair with a fine tooth comb to add height. After that, he polished the sides of the hair using Fekkai Coiff™ Nonchalant Piecing & Forming Wax, pulling the hair into a tight ponytail just above the ear line. Finally, he twisted the ponytail and wrapped it around an elastic band forming a doughnut shape and pinned the pony into place. To secure the look, Abergel sprayed the hair with Femme Fekkai Sensuelle Hair Spray.
How to get the look: Adir started by spraying Fekkai Coiff™ Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel from the roots to the ends of the hair. He then used his hands to tousle her hair until it was completely dry. Once dried, he used a large barrel curling iron and curled the hair from the roots down. In order to achieve the textured look, Abergel sprayed a little Fekkai Coiff™ Océanique Tousled Wave Spray. After, he backcombed the crown using a fine tooth comb and tied a loose ponytail leaving some front pieces to frame the front of her face. To finish the look, Adir added Fekkai Sheer Hold® Hairspray.
Frédéric Fekkai, whose name is synonymous with sophistication and style, announced today that he will name the Melrose Place Salon the official West Coast based flagship Fekkai salon.
Glamorous long braids were seen from the runways to the red carpet this season.

Renato Campora for Frederic Fekkai who styled Blake Lively’s Luscious Long Braid for the Emmy’s shows us how to get the look:
Whether it’s a soft and sexy loose braid or a chic and strong braid, you can start out by applying FEKKAI COIFF™ STRONG HOLD VOLUME MOUSSE onto wet hair and blow-dry the hair smooth. Apply FEKKAI COIFF™ EXTRA CONTROL STYLING GEL to prep the hair and make it easier to braid. He then teased all the hair to add dimension to the braid. By adding some hair extensions, you can create extra length for a more dramatic look. For a classic braid, separate the hair into three parts and secure with clips. Afterward, braid the entire and fastened at the end. Finish by applying FEKKAI COIFF™ MAGNIFIQUE ULTRA-LIGHT FINISHING CRÈME throughout the entire look for a smooth and glossy effect.
