Fashion photo shoots can always be made visually more interesting by having fabulously voluminous hair. When I shot The Luxe, the concept called for a one of the models to have a vintage style and that included the hair as well as the clothing. Phil Salmon of French Pharmacie is a hair wizard! He whipped up this creation on Paulina’s head in literally a matter of 30 minutes. How did he do it? See below!
Phil, very graciously, has provided his step by step formula for fabulous vintage photo shoot hair!
1. Use a dry shampoo to give hair the texture to get really big.
2. Across the hairline and three inches back, make barrel rolls with a large iron. Secure with pins.
3. The rest gets teased and twisted tightly up the back and rolling to a finish on the crown. Secure with a few pins.
4. Brush the rolled in front section and lightly tease, then brush surface into paddle shapes over the hair in back.
5. Voila!
6. Lights! Camera! Action!

Phillip is incredible!! His work is superb and he’s incredibly sweet to boot 🙂 I’m a fan!
I love this hair. That was one of my favorite pieces to the Luxe shoot, the hair!
