Basket Weave by Enrica Russo
About the masterclass
Duration: XXX mins
This masterclass is your invitation to think differently about hair. Enrica will guide you through the iconic Basket Weave technique — taking you from concept to a fully realised, competition-ready Avant-Garde look that makes a real statement.
You'll learn how to build strong, structured designs using wet techniques to control texture and shape, and how to apply colour strategically to add depth, dimension, and movement. Enrica will also show you how to work creatively with simple, everyday materials to elevate your designs beyond the expected.
To achieve the most vibrant, high-impact colour result, Enrica works on weft extensions throughout this masterclass — allowing pigments to come through with maximum intensity and purity. That said, the technique itself translates beautifully to natural hair, giving you the flexibility to adapt it however suits your client or creative brief.
Whether you're preparing for a competition, shooting editorial work, or simply ready to push your artistry further — this masterclass will give you the tools, the vision, and the confidence to create looks that truly turn heads.
