On the day, the team created a number of looks, one of the main looks created was a middle clean parting, braided all the way down to the nape of the neck and fanned out to the braid to create volume before being wrapped in two messy buns at the back and the second look was a sleek back look, with a water spray being used to wet the hair ad gain control before a gel was used to sleek the hair back and then set with a hairdryer.

Art Director, Gavin Jamieson, was also invited to Paris Fashion Week alongside Global Fashion Creative to style the hair for the models for designers including louren, BRNTW and Par Jane to name just a few.

The first day was all about wet looks, including slicked back ponytails and buns and the second day was more natural looks and curls in addition to glam waves and Hollywood waves.
