At Emanuel Ungaro, the hairstyle was a severe, strict, high ponytail at the crown. “Ponytails can have so many different variations – some are soft and feminine, and some are more severe like the one today at Emanuel Ungaro. A woman can change up her ponytail depending on what she wants to portray that day.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant.

Redken product:
-hardwear 16 super strong sculpting gel
-forceful 23 super strength finishing spray
-shine flash 02 glistening mist (available April 2011)

Create the look:
-Comb hardwear 16 super strong sculpting gel through hair at the crown
-Pull hair into a high ponytail at the crown of the head & secure with an elastic
-Wrap a 3-inch piece of black leather around the elastic and wrap elastic around the leather for added texture and security
-Flat iron the ponytail so it’s very straight
-Spray shine flash 02 glistening mist for shine and finish with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray to secure the entire look

The look at Yves Saint Laurent was slightly boyish with hair pulled into a low knot with a strong sideburn statement. “This style is a bit boyish, which is what we’ve seen a lot of this season. The look is inspired by a ‘French Twiggy,’ slightly tomboyish and very cool. The left sideburn is key to the look.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Redken Products:
-velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow-dry gel
-fashion work 12 versatile working spray

Create the Look:
-Blow-dry velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow-dry gel into damp hair
-Create a straight, deep left side part
-Sweep hair along the hair line and slightly cover the right ear
-Pull hair into a low knot and secure with pins
-On the left ear, pull out a small piece to create a very strong, angular sideburn towards the chin
