Frederic Fekkai's Lead Stylist, Renato Campora Created Two Signature Hair Styles with an Emphasis on Texture
Look #1: The Wet Look
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:
- Use your hands as styling tools to create this piecey look.
- Apply Fekkai COIFF™ Extra Control Styling Gel to damp hair and comb through with fingers, no blow dry required.
- Pull hair into textured sections before twisting together into a low ponytail just above the nape of the neck.
- Secure the twist with bobby pins, letting shorter pieces fall to the side.
- Shape the hair into a long sleek ponytail.
Look #2: The Dry 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:
- Apply Fekkai COIFF™ Strong Hold Mousse to damp hair and scrunch with fingers as you blow dry completely to create the wild texture.
- Wrap hair in big sections around twist-ties (fabric curling rods) to create volume at the roots and soft curl for movement.
- Tease hair at the roots using a fine comb, and apply Fekkai Au Naturel Powder Clean Dry Shampoo to add thickness and extra structure, but no weight.
- Pin the sides to the back of the head and secure with bobby pins.
- To secure height at the crown, finish with a fine mist of Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray.

We all have our obsessions, and while many are short-lived, there are some that stick with us and become extensions of our personality. I'm sure we can all think of a shopaholic or chocoholic in our life, but do you have a Cosmoholic in your life yet? If not, you will soon, because Cosmoholic Cosmetics is for women of all ages: the cosmetics junky, the on-the-go professional, the sassy stroller mom, and the trend-setter teen. It's for the woman who wants classic colors with an edge. It's for the woman who wants to stay ahead of the pack. It's for every woman who's ever wanted a lipstick and a lipgloss in one easy applicator.

If someone asks me what my best feature is, I’ll usually say, “my eyes.” But I’m not being entirely honest. Don’t get me wrong – I think my eyes run a close second; but like many red-blooded, modern girls; I think my “girls” are the real shizzle. But my honest response wouldn't be a very ladylike response to that question (or would it?).
