The stripe in the middle: steb by step to place it

"The stripe makes it possible to distribute the volumes, to soften the features, and to make chic a fuzzy hair and not really smoothed," defends Olivier Lebrun. The look remains feminine and has nothing androgynous, even on plated and ultra-drawn hair (as with the parades Chanel and Gucci). Small flat all the same: to avoid with an elongated face or a nose a little strong.

Brushing is carried out with a flat brush, flattening as much as possible the hair and placing the line in the middle. For that, Delphine Courteille has infallible trick: it is enough to put the handle of a comb with a tail on the tip of the nose, then to trace the separation in the place indicated by the tip of the comb. To keep it as sharp as possible, an ultra-discrete fixing spray (not to overload the roots) is vaporized on a brush of coloring kit. With the latter, each side of the line is lacquered.

Then, it remains to choose its style: one allows to live one's hair or one gathers them in strict ponytail or in low chignon on the neck. In this case, it is locked with a lacquer or a wax capable of both smoothing and controlling.
