SEARCHGuido, for Redken, created a sleek, shiny ponytail for Bottega Veneta.
The Fashion Week ponytail strikes again, but Guido, Redken Creative Consultant, created a sleek, powerful pony that enhanced the overall look.
Guido placed extensions in the hair before pulling back into a mid level ponytail which he then flat ironed and cut blunt. "A bit of a departure from previous seasons," says Guido. "In the past the hairstyles were easier, softer and more natural. A sort of 90's minimalism inspired me, so the hair is simple with blunt lines. Hair extensions were used to create a very long fake ponytail that resembles the same thickness and consistency of a horse's tail. There is certainly an intended element of artificiality to the hair."
