Personal Experience: How I Made The Most Fashionable Haircut Of The Season

BeautyHack editor Dilyara Telyasheva watched all the latest shows and got her hair cut by Viktor Komsky, a Birdie hairdresser and fashion stylist.

"It is becoming obvious: a square" like at the Prada show "is a" new black ", a visiting card of a girl who knows at least something about fashion."

During Fashion Weeks, I switch to night mode: set my alarm five minutes before the show, cut apples and meet beautiful. In the Fall-Winter 2017 Ready-to-wear marathon, I stopped distinguishing between models, and it was not my fatigue.

Before the spring-summer show of Miuccia Prada, a curious incident occurred: at the direction of the designer, stylist Guido Palau hastily cut all models under a square. The culprit was a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Russia Milena Litvinovskaya - Miuccia was delighted with her haircut and invited the girl to open the show.

The fashion community is accustomed to accepting Miucci's ideas as law - after Prada, the perfect bob was shown by Etro (along with Milena on the catwalk), The Row, Mulberry, Victoria Beckham, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, Burberry, Proenza Schouler, Altuzarra, Peter Pilotto … list further?

It becomes obvious: the square "as at the Prada show" is the "new black", the calling card of a girl who knows at least something about fashion. Resolved - I'm going to get a haircut!

I immediately knew where to go for the "most fashionable haircut" - to Viktor Komsky's Birdie! Between the witchcraft over the hairstyles of Moscow it-girls, Viktor comes up with images for big glossy shoots (from SNC to Numero and Tatler). Guido Palau would definitely appreciate it!

Hairdresser Birdie on Mayakovskaya deserves special attention - it seems that you are visiting Jane Brikin. An antique wooden chest of drawers instead of a sofa, portraits of young models from the golden composition of the 90s, freshly brewed coffee in a glass with pin-up stickers - you want to stay here (and listen to the great playlist of the new French radio).

Victor did not have to explain anything - the square of dreams materialized on my head in half an hour and a friendly conversation about the peculiarities of Moscow.

“A couple of weeks ago a girl came to me with a photo of Milena Litvinovskaya at the Prada show and asked me to cut her the same way. It turned out cool, she was very pleased!

In addition to models, I advise you to pay attention to Jennifer Lawrence's haircuts - they always look perfect. Jennifer's styling in Dior campaigns is my separate love!

The most relevant bob is the one that highlights your facial features and hair texture. The fashionable length has changed: if before the square was cut below the shoulder line, now it is cut along the cheekbones (if it suits you) or slightly above the shoulders - the main thing is that the hair does not touch them.

Today's bob is long and straight hair. No classic twisting inside! A bob on fine hair is best completed with a dense line. This can be done with a clipper if you have perfectly straight hair. For "thick" hair, a torn line is also suitable. It is important to understand the peculiarities of the texture: on certain thin hair, torn ends are also excellent - they are flying, cool "play" in motion.

For Dilyara, I chose a medium length square to the shoulders - it's very cool! Cut with ragged ends to keep them light.

"The right bob looks great even without styling."

How to lay a square? Pull the ends so they are straight - and nothing else! The right bob looks great even without styling. You can make soft “waves” like Dilyara's, if you are in the right mood.

I used the cool Oi Oil Davines, it moisturizes, nourishes, gives shine, helps to dry and comb quickly, and also smells delicious. I recommend the super cool Root Canal Base Support, Evo for volume and the excellent Easy Tiger, Evo - smoothes hair and leaves it straight for a long time.

“Before going to the salon, find the master's Instagram and familiarize yourself with his technique. If you like the style, you can go!"

Before going to the salon, find the master's instagram and familiarize yourself with his technique. If you like the style - you can go! Each master will cut you differently. It's important that it takes into account your hair type, texture and how you style it every day. If you want to repeat a fashionable bob, just show the master a photo - he will figure out how to properly adapt the hairstyle just for you!"
