The Braid Extravaganza
Mara Hoffman featured braids like you’ve never seen them before. As complex as it may seem, you can achieve this runway style in 3 easy steps:
- Divide your hair into two sections then select a portion of one side and braid this all the way down. Make sure your Scunci Stronger Braided Elastics camouflages into your natural hair colour then, bring the braid over your head.
- Secure firmly with the Scunci Pin Twirls, making sure to place them behind the braid. With your remaining hair, repeat step one to form a second braid than secure to the opposite side of your head.
- Gently loosen the finished braid and hold everything into place with the Elements Granite Hairspray to give you the perfect Mara Hoffman inspired look.

The Uptown Funk
Spikey, chic and very uptown, Marc Jacobs showed off elegant slicked back locks this catwalk season. Make it work at home for you:
- Work a quarter-size amount of REDKEN Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam into damp hair
- Blow dry hair straight from the base of the head upward
- Gather hair into a high ponytail at the front of the forehead and secure with an elastic
- Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap around the elastic band so it doesn’t show
- Twist the ponytail into a tight chignon and pin with open fasteners, leaving the ends exposed
- Spray REDKEN Control Addict 28 Extra High-Hold Hairspray all over, focusing on the ends of the chignon that are sticking out to hold the shape

The Modern Fishtail
Hervé Léger had girls walking with grungy hair flips to compliment his strong lined collection. To mimic this effortlessly undone look:
- Start by washing you hair using TRESemmé Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner and towel dry
- Work in the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray from root to tip and dry hair straight with a soft bristle brush.
- Applu TRESemmé Liquid Gold Anti-Frizz Perfecting Treatment from the roots to mid lengths and using a comb, create a deep side part to the crown of your head and then a straight part down the back of the hair.
- Starting an inch away from the hairline, comb one side of the hair back and then fold into a French twist down the back of the head and secure with bobby pins underneath. Repeat on the second side.
- Use hair pins to join both French twists together down the back on your head.
- Pull the lengths of the hair back into a low ponytail and finish the look by spraying TRESemmé TRES Two Hairspray. Tame flyaways with a spritz of hairspray on a natural bristle toothbrush.
