STEP 2: Mist small triangular shaped sections of hair with Be Curly Hair Spray. Working horizontally from the nape, wrap each section of hair around an extra large U-pin in a Figure-8 pattern. Secure each with a small clip. (If you do not have U-pins, twist pieces of tinfoil into a U-shape. The foil will conduct head just as well as the U-pins.)

The inspiration for Ann Yee’s clothes came from Black Mountain College, a beatnik liberal arts college founded in the 1930’s that was a unique educational experiment for artists and writers and an important incubator for the avant garde. “Ann wanted a progressive style to complement her collection. The look is woodsy and idiosyncratic in spirit, with a dim romantic undercurrent,” says Allen Ruiz, Aveda Global Styling Director.
