The party looks stolen from the red carpet of the “Sorrento Cinema Days”

For the wishes of happy holidays, the Italian celebrities have chosen the stage and the red carpet of the Sorrento Cinema Days, the event that every year closes the season on the big screen and announces the new one, amidst surprises and twists.

More informal, dynamic and avant-garde than many other worldly occasions, it offers the perfect starting point for experimenting with new trends and daring some head shots. Francesca Giulini tells it, hair stylist Cotril, who took care of the guests – from Vittoria Puccini to Paola Cortellesi, from Aurora Giovinazzo to Sarah Felberbaum – and who anticipated the next trends in their look, ideal for holidays but also suitable for daily care. In short, tips, tricks and some behind the scenes to understand how the Campania coast has really inspired the winter mood of these weeks and those to come.

If you were to sum up the trend of the near future in one word, which one would you choose? «Naturalness: whether you want to wear your hair up or down, by now – brush and comb placed – it is with your hands that you work the texture of the hair, handling it, shaping it and pulling it. Say goodbye to the structured hairstyle. Waves yes, but curls no ».

The starting point?
«Taste is evolving and even at an informal event we ask ourselves:“ How do I want to show myself? ”. And the answer seems to be: “Better to appear less, no more fiction. The real revolution is being myself “.

A widespread misconception?
“Naturalness does not mean the absence of care, on the contrary sometimes you need even more to get it, because it is a studied, desired effect, like the locks that fall on the face but without being selected first”.

Is there any return? For example the braids?
«No, lately it is an abandoned trend, in favor of a greater volume created with the hands on the basis of a shape that the hair already has. On the other hand, the low tail is an evergreen and in that case, even if pulled, it retains elegance and refinement ».

What do the upcoming holidays have in store for us?
«A lot of softness, embellished with some hair accessories. On the other hand, at Christmas and New Year everything is allowed: we see the light and we also put it in our head with the hope and the desire to see it again around us. Let’s shine, then, and give shine to the hair, but in a natural way (for example with Shine, Cotril’s instant gloss spray). To make the difference, in this case, it will not be a bright color but a simple and effective detail ».

What kind of trend did you see at the Sorrento Film Days?
«Lots of short cuts, which express the idea of ​​renewal and also a pinch of madness, because daring rhymes with lightness and fun. The rigor has remained in the past, now there is a desire for freedom, spontaneity, rebirth. I also noticed many climbs, with uneven and irregular fringe, as if we didn’t want to take ourselves too seriously ».

In some of the latest cinematic catwalks, white has returned powerfully, as an absolute form of freedom from dyeing. Does it still apply today?
«White hair is difficult to manage and work with, especially if it is long (in addition to the fact that after 60 it tends to add years and weigh down the image): it loses support, is thick and has less nutrition. A nice short cut must be accompanied with character, personality, otherwise it seems to end in the phase of abandonment and instead represents a distinctive note. In fact, the short itself attracts more attention, when it is decided it means getting noticed. In this case, if tied, it turns off the complexion, so better wear it loose. We should play with it and make it a strong point, even if it were just to stop doing the dye ».

Is there an off-limits color in winter?
«None, not even strawberry blonde because in winter it tends to last longer. The hair is less stressed due to the atmosphere, while in summer we tend to work it more often and therefore to download that shine ».

How do you give the hair more body?
«Avoiding the gel and perhaps focusing on a light lacquer, which fixes but is more natural, as well as capable of disappearing with a brush stroke».

So what’s the difference with simple dry shampoo?
«They are very similar, in fact, because it tends to swell the root, plump it from the inside and therefore obtain a vaporous effect, even with the hedgehog, to be supported and defined. Finally even curly women have stopped wanting to tame their hair at all costs and straighten it, instead of enhancing it ».

Accessories yes or no?
«The clothespins are a fun accessory, capable of getting out of banality, but no clothespins, not even if Chiara Ferragni clears it through customs. Too Eighties: ok, the entrepreneur plays with it because nothing is excessive on her, she throws the fashions there but not all of them are collected. An excellent alternative could be a bun with a hairpin, semi-gathered: it looks like a DIY but is instead red carpet “.

Because?
«We are speaking, in fact, of fake natural: it is not like getting out of bed and wrapping the hair on the fly in a bun. Instead, here we are talking about polished and worked: before collecting the hair, we style it. Naturalness, in fact, is the result of so much care, of the use of the right products and it comes before hairdressing, it consists in exalting what one is “.

So what products can I not miss in the beauty case, in addition to shampoo, conditioner and mask?
«In summary, I would say a light lacquer, a product to give shine, like Shine, and to protect the hair, like Texture. These days, when we continuously sanitize our hands and tend to make them dry too, it is advisable to protect and treat them with a moisturizer, which is why the novelty of Christmas Cotril is a line of four hand lotion. Shall we put our hands in our hair? Sure, but we can do it with style ».
