Milan fashion week spring/summer 2014: missoni

Eugene Souleiman created textured urban ponytails for the Missoni Spring/Summer 2014 show at London Fashion Week. Show: Missoni Stylist: Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals The inspiration: Tecno natural. "I wanted to create a feeling of polar opposites within the same hairstyle, so each detail has a counterpart," said Eugene. The look: "The low, sharp side parting contrasts with the raw texture at the front of the head and the addition of an acrylic ponytail hair accessory contrasts against the more tactile natural ponytail underneath," continued Eugene. "The Missoni team created some acrylic loops, to complement the jewellery collection and I was inspired to use these as part of the hair look, so I created these very strong, shiny ponytails from acrylic hair which attached to the loops, and then fastened these to a natural ponytail  as a hair accessory." To complete the feeling of contrast, the ponytails were prepped with coloured pieces which "added to the urban feeling" according to Eugene.

Blow-dry the hair then create a low side parting. Spray with Ocean Spritz and rake fingers through the hair to create a raw, textured finish. Pull back into a low ponytail and secure. Spray the base of the ponytail with water then immediately spray with Stay Styled Hairspray and comb through the base section with a fine tooth comb. Fold the ponytail into a loop, attaching the hair accessory through the loop then tying in to the ponytail. Spray Stay Styled Hairspray onto a soft bristle brush and brush through the ponytail to keep it smooth and sleek. Finally, for added definition between the two ponytails, spray the natural ponytail with SP Hydro Finish on the ends of the hair for a 'piecey' finished look Key Products: Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner, Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray, Stay Styled Hairspray, Hydro Finish
