Assisting Orlando Pita At Derek Lam New York Fashion Week 2015

Do-Rag Honey! Yassss!


Only Orlando Pita can bring realness to the mainstream catwalk. Today's hair style for Derek Lam was a head turner!  First we applied Phyto Phytovolume Actif spray throughout the hair and blow-dried it with a paddle brush. It was mainly dried to remove the waves (not to create perfect smoothness.) We then sprayed the crown of the head with Phyto Spray De Coiffage and tied the do-rag in place. 

Don't forget to follow Orlandopita on Instagram!

Once this was in place, we added Phyto Matte Texturizing Paste to the rest of the hair to achieve even more texture. This gave the overall hair style a very smooth, lacquered top.

Using the T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand, with it's adjustable barrels, we added random, light bends to each model's hair. (Love this tool by the way!)

By the time the clothing was added, the entire look was fierce!!!

Hair At Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2014 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

"Structured ease" was one of the terms Derek Lam used to describe the vibe of his Spring/Summer 2014 runway show and each model's hair was styled to follow suit.

Orlando Pitdid his usual demonstration for us, showing the techniques, tools and products that were needed.

The hair was first lightly brushed with a Mason Pearson brush and then sprayed with a Phyto Finishing Hair Spray to give it structure and body. 

We then styled it with the fabulous T3- Micro Hair Iron, alternating the direction of each wave.

NO BARREL CURLS! That's right guys...this is the look that will define today's modern girl.  

The hair was then put into a ponytail, keeping it, "...structured with an ease..."

Great job guys!!
