Sleek, straight hair tips right off the runway…
Simple chic, ponytail hairstyles from the Tracey Reese
fashion show

Dear
Sharon: I really want a straight
hairstyle to compliment all the
feminine clothing styles
I’ve seen on the fashion runway this season. My hair has a
bit of a bend to it, but it’s not really that wavy. Whenever
I try to style my hair straight, it looks too fluffy.
Do you
have any hairstyling tips to get a
smooth straight hairstyle
that’s doesn’t look limp or puffy? (Straight to Style—

Dear
Straight to Style: Sweetness,
you’ve got your styling right— when clothing is soft and
feminine, hair needs to be simple and clean to
compliment
the fashion silhouette without adding unnecessary
girlishness that would make the otherwise modern coquette
look appear dated and far too cute for a grown-up girl.
A
modern pulled-back ponytail is just the answer! |

For the Fall – Winter
2007 fashion show, designer Tracy Reese showed beautiful baroque
inspired looks with plenty of her
signature feminine details, this season
including ruffles, flounce skirts, layered tulle, bows, pleats, and metallics
which call for a sleek hairstyle to spotlight the clothing details without
adding any otherwise distracting elements to the total look. Reese turned to
Edris Nichols owner of NY’s Edris Salon and her hair team to create clean,
sleek, and modern hairstyles to compliment her strong, yet feminine clothing
collection for its fashion show presentation. With inspiration from the 1960’s
at the time when hair was no longer stiff and now had
movement, Edris
created
runway hairstyles
with “clean lines using a
distinctive strong part, and a large bow that sits very low on the neck.”
Edris and her hair styling team used FHI Heat Hot Sauce, the
FHI Heat Nano Salon Pro 2000 blow dryer, and the FHI Heat Runway and Platform
irons to master the look.
FHI Heat
was the fashion show’s hair styling team
sponsor.
How to-get the modern
ponytail look...
Edris’s hairstyling tips for tied-back straight hair:
Hair is divided into 2-inch sections.
A dime-size portion of a heat activated
styling product is evenly applied from the scalp to the ends, starting from the
nape to the forehead. To avoid hair which looks weighed down, use a styling
product that isn’t greasy or oily.
Iron 1-inch sections of the hair at the
nape, then at the crown, sides and back. For fine hair, tousle hair dry using a
hairdryer to remove moisture. The heat activation of the styling iron makes the
hair shiny, not lifeless or dull.
Part the hair down the middle, off
center, or on the side to flatter your face shape.
After ironing, pull back the hair as low
as possible on the nape and snugly hold the hair together with an elastic band.
As a finishing touch, tie a beautiful
silk taffeta bow over the elastic.
Voila, Edris notes, “a
strong, modern and soft look which also describes the
Tracy Reese type of girl, who is girly and feminine, yet modern and strong.”
