Fall 2013 Fab Five Hair Trends From Moroccanoil, Design By Delphine Courteille

There are scores of hair products on the market that claim to have all the necessary ingredients to make your hair strong, shiny and smooth – and, therefore, virtually irresistible. Among my favorites is a brand called Moroccanoil. Launched seven years ago, Moroccanoil offers innovative, easy-to-use, performance-driven formulas that dramatically enhance all hair types, resulting in beautiful, healthy, natural-looking hair.

As the pioneer of an all-new oil treatment hair care category, Moroccanoil has quickly become a runaway hit among fashion and beauty insiders, generating a cult following among top stylists and their A-list celebrity clients in some 40 countries around the globe. Famed for its weightless, residue-free quality, Moroccanoil’s extensive line of luxury hair care products addresses the needs of all hair types and features a proprietary, advanced blend of the finest ingredients to deliver optimal performance and dramatic results.

Moroccanoil products were the selected brand used on runway models at the recent Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2013 Christopher Josse runway show. Delphine Courteille, hair stylist for Moroccanoil, shared details about how she prepared for the show and the look she created for the runway presentation.

How “The Look” Was Created
Delphine Courteille said she was inspired by the look of idealistic young women who are somewhat austere and very contemporary. She created a fragile yet graphic hairstyle which complements the romanticism of the collection. She explains here how she did it: “First, I prepared the hair with Moroccanoil Treatment to condition and improve manageability.

“I then started by straightening the hair in sections using a Moroccanoil XLPRO Paddle Brush with Moroccanoil Professional Series Hair Dryer and a flat iron until all of the hair was perfectly straight. “To maintain the straight style, I used Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream or Moroccanoil Frizz Control depending on the texture of the hair, adding hydration to tame fly-aways and prevent frizz. “Then I separated the top section, drawing a clear part from ear to ear to create a half ponytail, and secured using Japanese elastic. I wrapped a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail to conceal the elastic and pinned the end under the ponytail. “I pulled the hair back very tightly and used Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium to make the top of the style sleek, smooth and secure.

“Finally, I assembled all of the hair behind the neck between the shoulder blades and tied it together at the base using a Japanese thread an inch above the ends of the hair. “I finished the look with a small drop of Moroccanoil Treatment applied to the ends of the hair, and a spray of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine to create beautiful shine and a lustrous, healthy finish from root to tip.” For more insight, link into the world of Moroccanoil products at www.moroccanoil.com.
