L’Oréal Professionnel teamed up with Central Saint Martins for its iconic White Show catwalk, which showcased some pretty incredible hair moments.

The White Show is an annual showcase in December where each first-year fashion design student at Central Saint Martins creates a single look in white fabric.

L’Oréal Professionnel have a twenty-year partnership with Central Saint Martins and invited hairstylist Jason Hall to create the hair looks. Jason lead the L’Oréal Professionnel ID Artists hair-team to style the hair for all 140 students who each modelled one look. The ID Artists take part in a two-year education and development program for talented hairstylists.

This year the theme was the LIGHTSHOW and the inspiration for the hair was space-age, with influences from the movie, Dune.

How to Recreate the Look

Lead stylist for L’Oréal Professionnel, Jason Hall shares how to get the look:

Spray the hair with water and brush it up into a high ponytail (or low, if they had headdresses). Mix L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Fix Max gel and L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Controlsmoothing cream in a bowl and brush into the swept-up hair for a high sheen and smooth finish. Straighten the lengths and spray with a little L’Oréal Professionnel Ring Light Shine-spray.
