Inspiration:

Taking inspiration from strong influential women like Nancy Cunard, Josephine Baker and Schiaparelli, Michael Angel directed a Spring ’10 beauty look that’s meant to replace the depressing, dark days of yore with a revived, empowered and reenergized youthfulness.  A fresh, healthy “just come back from holiday” look subtly complements the collection’s energy-packed, color-rich and cool designs that Michael is famous for.

The Hair Look:

To keep this ponytail from looking cold and severe, Sebastian Professional lead stylist Thomas Dunkin kept the crown soft and clean, allowing some of the hair’s natural texture free reign for a played-in feeling. Here’s how to create your own perfect pony:

1)     Apply Sebastian Professional Thickefy Foam to damp hair; blend evenly throughout

2)     Blow hair out straight with a medium to large-sized round brush

3)     Neatly brush hair back with a comb or flat brush and fasten with a hair tie just below eye level to avoid looking too “sporty”

4)     Smooth the first half of the head with Shine Define for a shiny finish or apply Microweb Fiber to entice rogue wisps for a more lived-in look

5)     Mist the length with Halo Mist and leave smooth and straight

How to Get the Look with Sebastian Professional:
Thomas Dunkin suggests combining shine stylers with texturizers to juxtapose elegance with beautiful imperfection.
Try:

• Thickefy Foam – Weightless thickener for natural volume
• Microweb Fiber  – Elastic texturizer for malleable, touchable texture
• Shine Define – The ultimate versatile hairspray for shine and flexible hold
