Go for the Gold with a Gold Snood – 1987

Red Carpet Hair idea - a Gold Snood

Go for the Gold with this hair accessory, a gold snood.  Dress up for evening, also a great idea for the Oscar Red Carpet.   In 1987, Kim Lepine of La Coupe added a gold snood to a mid-parted drape chignon for golden nights.  If there is not enough hair and the hair is long enough, the snood could be stuffed with matching false hair, a silk scarf or even pantyhose for the same effect.  Hide all under a layer of hair.  “For flattering proportions – play.”  Click for more here

Boudoir Hair- 1987

Another romantic feeling from La Coupe New York in 1987, Boudoir Hair, for the boudoir and dancing the night away, worn with lingerie looks.

La Coupe introduced The New Curl and Kim Lepine, International Design Director, predicted:  “The New Direction is small heads, closer to the head, with soft “V” backs.”  Great short curly look for a growing-out gamine.  For much more and tutorials, go to HairThen, 80s Hair, Boudoir Hair.
