The brief was glossy and sleek glass hair alongside defined curls with a dewy, hydrated finish. The colleen team was led by Lauren Gunn using Kevin Murphy and Dyson to create two chic and fresh looks that complement Benjamin Alexander's cool, modern aesthetic being brought to life on the runway.

Come backstage and learn how to get the look.

LOOK ONE: SLEEK GLASS HAIR

STEP ONE: Prep the hair with and wash using Kevin Murphy Blow.Dry Wash and Rinse.

STEP TWO: Spray towel-dried hair thoroughly from roots to ends with Kevin Murphy Ever.Smooth followed by a mist of Kevin Murphy Shimmer.Shine through the ends for extra hydration.

STEP THREE: Beginning at the nape, take thick sections of hair and blowdry them flat to the head using a round boar bristle brush. Blowdry the mid-lengths and ends smooth and straight. Create a razor-sharp centre part.

STEP FOUR: Using a flat iron, straighten the hair section by section, layering with Kevin Murphy Session Spray Flex as you go, to seal in the shine and set the super straight texture.
