Recreate the look with this masterclass from Edwards and Co Head Stylists and MBFWA Co-Creative Hair Directors, Byron Turnbull and Jayde Turner-Ledwidge.

 

  • Prep hair with Anti.Gravity and blow dry smooth.
  • Part hair with a deep side part to the left.
  • Section out the left hand side hairline and section away.
  • Using a small tong take parallel sections along the hairline, curling small sections at a time, clipping each with pin curl clips.
  • Spray on Session.Spray and let cool.
  • Once the small curls have cooled down, brush out using a flat brush to create finger waves.
  • Loosen the texture of the hair and push towards the back of the nape.
  • Secure hair into a ponytail at the lowest point of the nape and secure with elastic.
  • Fishtail braid the ponytail and secure with elastic.
  • To complete the look, twist gold wire throughout the braided hair and around ponytail.
