CLUB
THE FIRST RULE of pony club: go low or go
home – as anything above the occipital bone
means instant disqualification, if the catwalks
were anything to go by. Clean and simple was
the order of the day at the majority of shows,
with some individual nuances thrown in to
lend a bit of character. At Miu Miu, Guido
added a black elastic headband and teased the
crown in a nod to the mod; “I’ve blown all the
girls’ hairlines out and pulled their hair up into
a ponytail,” he explained backstage. “It’s really a
’90s take on the ’60s with a clean ponytail and
a teased crown for added height.” Meanwhile,
over at Sacai, he made a simple ‘wash and go’
pony; folded under itself to show off the clothes
as well as employing a little Redken Wind
Blown 05 to texturise and add hold. Over at
Erdem, Anthony Turner drenched the hair in
L’Oréal Professionnel’s Tecni.ART Full Volume
Extra Mousse before drying and tonging into
‘40s-style twists, while Neville’s Stephen Low for
L’Oréal Professionnel kept things super-simple
at Eudon Choi for his ‘effortless’ down-dos. An
exception to the low pony rule, but fabulous
enough to warrant a mention, was the Ariana
Grande-inspired ponytail at Paul Costelloe by
Toni&Guy’s Cos Sakkas, achieved with lashings
of hairspray then dried in for a super-smooth
finish. Tally-ho!

HAIR: Stephen Low from Neville
Hair & Beauty for L’Oréal Professionnel
THE LOOK: Soft, cool and modern
HOW: The hair was prepped with
Tecni.ART Pli at the roots and blasted
dry before a small tong was used
around the hairline to encourage
gentle movement and texture. Hair
was gathered into a ponytail at the
occipital bone, leaving the elastic
exposed for a modern nod. The roots
and lengths of the ponytail were
dusted with Tecni.ART Super Dust for
a raw finish, juxtaposed with sides that
were pulled and pinned tight. Infinium
was misted for barely-there hold.
Getting the balance right between
care-free and effortless, and messy and
no effort, is a fine line – it’s all about
purposeful texture.
