  • Instep steals top four looks from the runway and asks stylist Saeeda Mandviwalla how she managed to achieve them

Saeeda Mandviwalla is the face of Toni & Guy Hairdressing in Karachi. After starting her career at the London College of Fashion, the stylist moved to Pakistan and continued working in the beauty industry until she launched the first international Hair franchise in Southeast Asia, Essensuals, in 2004. This was then followed by the world’s largest purpose-built Toni & Guy salon in 2008 in Karachi. She is now the CEO and Creative Head of Toni & Guy, Pakistan.

Now that Fashion Pakistan Week has come to a close, it’s time for us to reflect on the beauty trends that were sent down the runway. While most of the make-up was standard bridal affair, the hairstyles, part of Toni & Guy’s hair show, undoubtedly stood out amongst the flurry of uninspiring beauty looks, lending the show an edgy, upbeat vibe. From slick braids to slept-in waves, there were enough hairdos to help you make a fierce statement this winter season.Instep steals top four looks from the runway and asks stylist Saeeda Mandviwalla how she managed to achieve them.

These dishevelled side braids can be achieved using Label.m Volume Mousse on the braids to add texture and Label.m Heat Protection Spray, which has a thermal film to protect fine hair from heat styling. Strands of electric blue were twisted into the hair to give a diverse look. The hair inspiration behind this is that "there are no rules" and it incorporated elements of cowboy Indian apache.
The inspiration for this was the ’90s. An extreme side parting was created to add volume and an intricate tight scalp braid on the other half with teasing on the ends. Products needed to create the look were Label.m Sea Salt Spray for instant waves and beach curls and Label.m Extra Strong Mousse for lasting hold on the curls. It also contains the UV filter.
