How Guido Palau Created Futuristic Hair for SIMKHAI SS27 

09/18/2026

The vibe at the SIMKHAI SS27 show was very future-facing. Lead hairstylist, the iconic, Guido Palau, used ghd tools, to create, as he says, “open-faced” and “extreme” styles for the runway.

Palau says, “The look is very graphic but with a slightly futuristic touch. It was inspired by the mid 90’s, a combination of grudge and minimalism.”​ Scroll to see how he and the team created each of three key runway styles.

Get the Look: Sleek & Futuristic

  1. Blowdry hair away from the face using the ghd Speed to create an extreme, open-face silhouette.​
  2. Apply hairspray thoroughly to achieve a high-shine, combed-back finish​
  3. Pass the ghd Sculpt over the ends to ensure they are ultra-straight and smooth.​
  4. Lightly mist with dry body oil for a glistening, sleek effect.​

Get the Look: Slicked Braid

  1. Blow-dry hair backward away from the face using the ghd Speed.​
  2. Apply hairspray and use the ghd The Sectioner Tail Comb to slick the hair down seamlessly.​
  3. Secure the hair into a high-tension ponytail, then braid tightly to the ends.​

Get the Look: Men’s Textured Visor

  1. Blowdry all hair forward onto the face using the ghd Speed to build a heavy, “moppy” front fringe. ​
  2. Use the ghd Sculpt to flatten and align the hair for a sleek, straight finish.​
  3. Lightly work in dry body oil spray to break up the texture.​
