Bottega veneta autumn/winter 2014: get the hair look

Guido Palau was inspired by 90s minimalism to create a super-sleek, artificial-looking ponytail for the Bottega Veneta Autumn/Winter 2014 show. The show: Bottega Veneta Autumn/Winter 2014 The hair team: Redken global styling director, Guido Palau The look: A very long, straight, sleek ponytail The inspiration: 90s minimalism - artificial and fake The key product: Redken Align 12 Protective Straightening Lotion "The hair for Bottega Veneta is clean and sharp, which is a bit of a departure from previous seasons," says Guido. "In the past, the hairstyles were easier, softer and more natural. A sort of 90s minimalism inspired me this time, so the hair is simple with blunt lines. Hair extensions were used to create a very long fake ponytail that resembles the same thickness and consistency of a horse's tail. There is certainly an intended element of artificiality to the hair." Get the Look 1. Apply Align 12 Protective Straightening Lotion on damp hair. 2. Blow-dry the hair with a natural bristle brush. 3. Comb the hair back into a tight ponytail and fasten with an elastic. 4. Wrap hair extensions around the ponytail. 5. Spray Iron Shape 11 Finishing Thermal Spray on the ponytail. 6. Use a flat iron to get the hair lying super straight and sleek. 7. Take a small piece of hair and wrap it around the ponytail to conceal the base of the extensions and band. 8. Use pins to secure the wrap of hair in place. 9. Spray the whole look with Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray to clean up any flyaways.
