Hot Hair Trend: Recreate Antonia Marras' 'Beautiful Dream'

The Look: Beautiful Dream

The hair look at Antonio Marras A/W 12 show in Milan was an ethereal dream of lightness. The look, according to Eugene Souleiman, Global Creative Director, Care & Styling, Wella Professionals, was borne out of necessity as a light touch to counteract the beautiful rich collection.
“Antonio always has a strong narrative to his collections, like a beautiful dream, and I wanted to extend this dream like quality to the hair look. I wanted the hair to feel romantic, light and almost as if it was styled by nature, with a textured quality to it” said Eugene. “There was also a slight Asian feeling to the collection with a classic Asian color palette of black, red and gold, which gave the hair a slightly ‘geisha’ feel” Eugene added.

Get the Look:

• Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair.
• Roughly dry the hair with a blow dryer and spray Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz in to the roots and dry backwards away from the face – the Ocean Spritz takes away any remaining moisture in the hair and makes it light and fluffy with a ‘fly away’ feel.
• Next, run straightening irons through the length of the hair to create an almost static feel to the hair.
• Allow the hair to fall in to a natural centre parting, then brush back and tie in to a loose ponytail with elastic.
• Once tied, let the ponytail drop a little to form a ‘baggy’ underneath section.
• Twist the ponytail and wrap it around itself, tying it into a knot, pulling the remaining hair through the knot, and pinning the knot into place.
• Massage the ends of the knot with fingers to add a little lightness the blow the hair forwards with the dryer from the back of the head towards the front – while at the same time spray in the direction of the air with Wella Professionals Stay Styled Hairspray.
• For the show, Eugene finished off with a light spray of gold hair color spray around the front of the face to give a little luminescence under the show lights.
