Get the look: Loose braid chignons at Venexiana show

Filed under: Runway Trends, Hair Cut and Style

Whenever we see elaborately casual updos on models, like at the Venexiana by Katie Stern 2009 runway show, we imagine an army of tiny fingered elves working for hours to achieve that perfect combination of texture and twist. And then we wistfully sigh and imagine how cool it would be to have our own hair elves.

The reality is much more simple, and in a way, more exciting because you can (sort of) get it at home. All it takes is a good flat iron, and some fake hair. Oh, also it helps to have the mad skills of the stylist team of Karmela Lozina and Jutta Weiss from the famous Sahag Workshop.

Lozina and Weiss used the Linea-Pro Titanium flat iron to make the models' hair smooth and shiny, and then added detail with the so-covetable new Linea-Pro Mini Iron -- it's tiny, but still has the famous titanium plates -- to create the appearance of casual texture around fake-hair braids.

In the gallery, get the scoop on how the masters of style used these tools to create fairy-tale hairstyles, no elves necessary.
