Joseph DiMaggio and the Davines team created a romantic take on avant-garde hair for the Reem Acra Spring/Summer 2016 Bridal show.
The show: Reem Acra Spring/Summer 2016 Bridal
The hair team: Joseph DiMaggio for Davines
The look: An extra long braid, woven through with diamonds and pearls.
The inspiration: "Reem Acra's intricate bead work and sexy silhouettes are true works of art," said Joseph. "Rather than accessorising, she wanted all attention centred on the hair, creating an unexpected piece of bridal 'jewellery'. With that, I was able to push my own limits and dream up an avant-garde bridal style."
The key product: Davines More Inside This Is A Volume Boosting Mousse
Get the Look
1. Prep hair by spraying a generous amount of Davines Essential Volu Mist at the root. Follow up by brushing Davines More Inside This Is A Volume Boosting Mousse from root to tip to keep hair smooth and in place.
2. Section hair evenly from ear to ear, creating front and back sections.
3. Sweep the back section into a ponytail at the occipital bone and secure with an elastic cord. Create a strong centre part in the front section and allow to hang loose temporarily.
4. Apply More Inside This Is A Volume Boosting Mousse throughout three wefts of extensions. Brush through the length before creating a 12" braided ponytail that falls down the entirety of the back. Attach this extension to the actual ponytail using an elastic cord. (Pro Tip: If the natural hair is long, create a braid below where the ponytail is fastened at the occipital bone and fasten to the underside of the extensions using clear elastics. For short hair, wrap hair tightly around the elastic and extension).
5. Brush the front section of the hair back towards the ponytail, smoothing as you go with Davines More Inside This Is A Medium Hairspray.
6. Lace the hair from the front sections underneath the ponytail (including extensions) and continue to wrap around the base creating a thick band over where the extensions meet the base of the head and ponytail. Use pins to secure.
7. Using a variety of diamonds, pearls and golden wraps, pin and tie throughout the length of the braided ponytail.
8. Apply iron on stars sporadically around the head. Adhere carefully using a hot curling iron. Control whisps and secure the look by applying Davines More Inside This Is A Strong Hairspray for all over for shine and hold.
