Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen has been present on the fashion scene for almost 25 years and her appearance has been synonymous with the freshness and breath of South American beaches for a quarter of a century. Although she encountered many rejections at the beginning of her career because heroin chic was in trend at the time, since Alexander McQueen gave her a chance in 1998, she has become a role model for hair that looks like nothing but lazy people on the beach.
Caramel hair streaked with strands that look like they are illuminated in the sun, gentle waves that give it texture and volume are the trademark of this model, who does not achieve this look by resting on Copacabana but occasionally going to a hairdresser who developed a special technique.
Bernardo Vasconcelos, the founder of the BCO salon in London, is also visited by Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio. 'In Brazil, we do something unique for each client, which is why hair always looks so natural. Blondes or brunettes will never come out of my salon - you will see different shades that create a natural effect, like hair lightened in the sun - natural and sexy,' he told Vogue. Such a casual look still requires some effort, and in this case, the hairdresser adapts the colors and the way of coloring to each client, her natural hair color, complexion, but also lifestyle.
‘Your hairstyle should suit your lifestyle as it is not the same if you are a girl who will come to the salon every week for a hairstyle or you will come for a haircut every six months. If it is the second option, it is necessary to create a color that will last a long time and look natural.'
Vasconcelos dyes the strands freely, without foil, applying the dye only where necessary, and using a minimum of bleach. A key step we can see with Gisele is to put lighter strands around her face, to add more shine and light to her face. He points out that it is important to take care of the texture of the hair because if it is curly or wavy hair, too much bleach can straighten and damage them.
And when it comes to waves, Gisele admitted that when she was younger and starting her career, she was not thrilled with her hair because it deviated a lot from the trends of the time. But today, her beach waves hairstyle is a classic we adore. In addition to natural drying, Gisele discovered that she also uses a curler: first, it is necessary to dry the hair, then wrap the strands around the curler, from the ear down. Spray styling spray and then ‘comb’ with your fingers to make the waves look as natural as possible.
