This summer, we beg you to step away from the textured salt-spray waves that you’re used to and into a sizzling sleek and sophisticated style. The hair at the S/S 2011 Lanvin and Loewe shows was sensationally slick – pulled back tight over the crown into a low wet-look ponytail.
Set to be a key look this season, here are our top picks for transforming this sultry style from runway to real life!
