BEAUTY REPORT
FALL The most wearable hair and makeup trends of the fall season, straight from the backstage beauty trenches and repurposed for real-life routines BY JULIA MCEWEN AND ANDREA KARR
Pretty Ponies SEEN AT: Chanel, Fendi, Valentino This season, the pony isn’t your last-resort hairdo. From fabric-adorned tails at Chanel to multiband ponies at Valentino, the newest style sits at the nape of the neck and features hits of interest that take it beyond the gym. At the Richard Nicoll show, Duffy, a Vidal Sassoon hairstylist, created a slightly messy design inspired by the 1920s and ’30s. “We drew on influences of beautiful, fuss-free hair, contrasted with modernist elements,” he says. Each pony was wrapped in a pretty knot to cover the elastic and to add a romantic detail.
Give your locks a stylishly dishevelled look with a shot of texturizing spray along the bottom half of hair.

THE GOODS: (Left to right) L’Oréal Professionnel Wild Stylers Next Day Hair, $23.50, select salons. Klorane Dry Shampoo Gentle Formula for Light to Dark Brown Hair, $15.50, klorane.ca. Fekkai Blowout Sealing Serum, $28, shoppersdrugmart.ca.
GET THE LOOK: There are many ways to wear the ponytail. For a sleek pony, blow out your locks with a smoothing serum, draw a sharp part and straighten the lengths before tying. For a rougher cool-girl effect, spray your strands with a texturizer or dry shampoo and brush the product through. Using a one-inch-barrel curling iron, add curls to the length. Secure the pony with an elastic at the nape of the neck, then wrap a small section around the band, fastening it in place with a bobby pin. If you crave a high-fashion look, take a cue from Valentino and tie small black elastics, each about two inches apart, along the length of your pony. Alternately, wrap fabric strips around the elastic at the pony, letting them drape down the tail with the rest of your hair. CANADIANLIVING.COM | OCTOBER 2014
