Lacy Redway must have opened a time capsule from 40 years ago and pulled out a still-working crimper, because the lead hairstylist on Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2027 show has fully reimagined what this distinctly dented texture could look like for a modern runway. The result, dubbed the “enchanted crimp,” is part sleek, part ridged, and considerably more sophisticated than the crimped looks we’ve seen cycling through the beauty-trend pipeline before.
The key: Most of the hair isn’t crimped. “Once the hair is flat-ironed, we use a crimper to create these ridges along the hair,” Redway tells Allure of the middle-parted style. “And depending on how long your hair is, you might have different sections, but they’re all going horizontally across the hair.” So, on the models, those sections appear almost like bands of pronounced, corrugated texture laid across otherwise perfectly straight sheets of hair, tucked cleanly behind the ears.
