High ponytail? Check. Bling accessories? Check. Streetstyle outfit? Check. Let’s find out more about this new trend which sets off the eyes, recently spotted on the Maria Escorté Spring-Summer 2015 runway at Madrid Fashion Week.
The trend. Mid-length hair worn straight in a high-slung ponytail.
Roots were slicked to the scalp which instantly opened up the models’ faces. The defining feature behind this look? A golden ribbon which secured the ponytail into place, wrapped several times to create a tube-like effect. This technique helped give these ponytails even more height and added a modern and original twist to a true classic.
Get the runway look. Make like the catwalk models and play around with your urban-chic look. Pair your new do with a casual streetstyle outfit and combine with look-at-me accessories. In terms of footwear, sneakers are an absolute must...and just as well because comfy flats were a big hit for summer this year. Nevertheless, you can try out this trend with your favourite pair of sandals, or add heels for a boost of femininity.
Step-by-step tutorial. Start by washing your hair with
Hydration and Suppleness Shampoo to make your hair silky soft and shiny. Dry, then apply a heat-protective spray to your lengths and straighten. Next, gather your hair at the very top of your head, using a ribbon of your choice to secure into place and slick down your roots with
Design Gel. Make sure to wrap your ribbon several times around the base, creating a tube effect, then tie into a knot to fix in place. Finish with a layer of hairspray for a lasting hold.
