The inspiration for Mara Hoffman’s Spring 2014 collection drew inspiration from color, light, and happiness, embracing the rainbow for it’s positivity, diversity, and ultimately, for serving as a symbol of light, love, and manifestion. For the hair look, Mara Hoffman and CATWALK by TIGI Global Creative Director Nick Irwin paired up to develop a unique braided look that evokes the happiness and bold aesthetic seen throughout the collection.
How-To Create The Look:
- Prep hair with ample CATWALK® by TIGI® Curlesque Strong Mousse, working it from roots to ends and brushing through with a paddle brush while creating a defined center part from hairline to nape.
- Starting with the left side of the head, gather hair and begin french braiding directly behind the ear, securing the end with a small elastic. Repeat on the right side. TIP: Use a bit of CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series True Wax on tips of fingers to keep bits from escaping the braid.
- Next, using pre-braided wefts of hair, attach to each braid using elastic string – making sure to secure tightly. Set braids with CATWALK® by TIGI® Sleek Mystique Look Lock Hairspray.
- Using a colorful woven belt, bind the two braids together in a small section at the nape of the neck and pin in place, tucking away the ends.
- Spray the crown and hairline with CATWALK® by TIGI® Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray for added shine.
