I adore each and every hairstyle that Heidi Klum modeled at the Primetime Emmys, so I’ve asked Helena Faccenda (the celebrity stylist behind it all) to share her inspiration and walk us through what it takes achieve these glamorous hairstyles.
Experiment with
each of these looks for a different occasion, or use Helena's tips and
techniques to create a single style that can take you from day to
night:
Look One: Heidi on the Red Carpet
“I really felt like the dress was very late ’60s-early ’70s inspired,” says Helena. “I wanted to give Heidi a Bridgette Bardot–inspired ponytail with an elegant edge.”
How Helena Achieved This Look:
Little to no product is needed to create this look, other than a few drops of serum to help reduce frizz. First, Helena blew Heidi’s hair out with a blow-dryer. Once dry, she used a wide (1.5-inch) barrel iron to curl her hair. Then, once the curls were set, Helena blew about 60 to 70 percent of the curl out of Heidi’s hair to create a soft wave. She then pulled Heidi’s hair back into a low, loose ponytail. Taking hair underneath the nape of Heidi’s neck, Helena pulled the pieces so the top crown of her head had volume. Finally, she wrapped a small section of hair around the elastic, pinning the top of the ponytail and the hair covering the elastic to Heidi’s head, securing the bump and creating an elegant, easy-to-do look.
Look Two: The Tuxedo
“I wanted the hair to look clean and elegant, like a hair commercial. The hair was very inspired by Veronica Lake."
How Helena Achieved This Look:
When Heidi came in from the red carpet, Helena brushed out the low ponytail and put it into an extremely loose, simple ponytail. She wanted it really loose so Heidi could pull the elastic easily with one finger and transition from the tuxedo look to the glamorous sequin romper she was wearing underneath.
Look Three: The Dior Buttercream Dress
“We went back to the Bardot ponytail, because the structure and beauty of the top of the dress required little to no hair framing the face,” advises Helena.
Look Four: The Black & White Dress
“This dress was very modern, so I wanted something very clean, structured and elegant.”
How Helena Achieved This Look:
Since there was little time between outfit changes, Helena decided to create a tight bun by taking Heidi’s ponytail from the previous look, wrapping it around her hair elastic and pinning tightly to Heidi’s head. “It only took two minutes!” exclaimed Helena.
Look Five: The Leopard Chiffon Gown
How Helena Achieved This Look:
Unpinning Heidi’s sleek bun, Helena vigorously brushed Heidi’s hair in an upward direction to bring more volume to the wave of her hair. Taking two sections above Heidi’s ears, Helena rolled the sections of hair from front to back of her head. The two sections were then secured with tiny clear elastics at the back of her head, and the look was completed with a bit of Victoria’s Secret Shine Spray.
Look Six (Final Change): Michael Kors Blue Dress
How Helena Achieved This Look:
First, Helena took out the two sections of hair she rolled back. She then went over Heidi’s hair with a blow-dryer and round brush, smoothing the hair into a Veronica Lake–inspired look. Creating a side part, Helena pulled the front bang loosely behind the ear, pinning it to secure the look. For a more modernized feel, Helena suggests making the side bang lie flat against your head.
... And voila, that’s it!
