manager, reveals how to recreate the biggest catwalk trends at home, so you can

Up & Away
Up
& Away
Disguise a bad hair day with this artfully
messy up-do
Backcomb your entire head of hair, starting
at the mid-lengths and teasing all the way to the roots.
Take a section of hair from ear to ear and
secure it out of the way
Form a lose ponytail at the back of the
head with the remaining hair and pin a bun roll in place
Split the ponytail and cover the roll,
making sure it isn’t too neat
Release the front section and backcomb the
full length of the hair
Using a hairbrush, smooth your hair over
the bun, being careful not to brush out any volume or texture
Secure your hair in place with a few pins
and sprinkle it with a bit of hair dust for a matte finish

Sleek & Chic
This slick-backed style is perfect for work
and play
Apply a heat-protecting straightening
product to damp hair and blow-dry straight with a paddle brush.
Using a comb, create a low side parting,
starting in line with the arch of your eyebrow
Secure your hair in a low pony at the nape
of your neck and spritz with a shine spray
Leave the ponytail loose or tie in a knot
for a ballerina look
