Technicolour twins, Nicole and Danielle Kahlani, are a hair and make-up twosome making waves within the fashion industry with their individual style and unique sisterly bond.
Hair stylist Nicole works at the cult East London salon, Bleach (the salon that kicked off the dip-dye and experimental hair colouring) and Danielle is a make-up artist who credits 7 years of hard work and self-belief as the key to her success.
Here, they talk us through their steps to create two of our favourite hair and make-up looks from our High Summer look book shoot.
First up, a tutorial on how to recreate our Mermaid Manes look by Nicole.
Step 1
Spray your hair with water to make it damp.
Step 2
Sprits salt spray all over your hair and brush through. This will give your hair a straight-from-the-beach look and works especially well at giving fine hair a bit of body. I recommend the beauty cult favourite; Surf Spray from Bumble and Bumble.
Step 3
Starting from the back, take small sections of hair and twist downwards. Use thickening spray on each twist.
Step 4
Use a diffuser nozzle on your hairdryer, at medium speed and on the maximum heat. Once the hair is almost dry, switch between hot and cold air - this will stop the hair becoming frizzy.
Step 5
Finish the look by creating the waves using your straighteners. To do this, move your hand in a zig-zag pattern along sections of hair. The end result – a natural, low maintenance wave.
How about you team your new style with…
