Tuesday night aboard Seadeck, cruising around Sydney’s Darling Harbour at sunset, KOOKAI unveiled their latest Cruise Spring Summer 2016 collection. To complement the tailored playsuits and breezy sun dressers, Peter Thomsen of Chelsea Hairdressing created two stunning pony tails to help women take their style from beach to bar over the warmer months. “The hair has a beautiful nautical, relaxed and windswept feel to it. It’s quite windy on the boat tonight so we need a style that not only works with the clothes but also works with the elements. The pony tail is a really versatile and practical hair look for summer. It can be simple but also looks incredibly chic,” explains Peter Thomsen.
“We have two looks here tonight, both ponytails. One has a beautiful soft wave through the lengths while the other is straight and has a great dry natural texture to it. The key to both of these styles in is the preparation and positioning. It’s really important to build texture into the hair as you blow dry.” Peter Thomsen, L’Oréal Professionnel Hair Director
LOOK 1: TEXTURED PONY TAIL
Apply L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Volume Lift from roots to ends and blast dry. Spray lengths and ends with L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Wild Stylers Next Day Hair to create a dry texture and brush through to distribute the product evenly. Take small sections of hair, spray with L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Wild Stylers Beach Waves and then curl the section from eye level down, horizontally using a medium sized curling tong. Brush the hair back off the face and tie lengths into a pony tail just above the occipital bone. Finish with L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium Hairspray to hold the style in place.
LOOK 2: NATURAL PONY TAIL
Apply L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Pli to roots to ends. Blow dry the hair straight without curving the ends. Follow with L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Wild Stylers Next Day Hair and brush through to distribute the product evenly. Brush the hair back away from the face and secure into a ponytail just above the nape. Spray L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium Hairspray to hold the style in place.
