Tippi Shorter, Aveda Global Artistic Director for Textured Hair described the look, by saying:
“We’ve got a lot of disheveled texture through the front, and the back of the ponytail is super sleek. It literally is party in the front, and business in the back. We wanted understated volume as well, so it was really important to massage the products into the hair with fingers.”
These ponytails were part of a previous New York Fashion Week show.
