Ballerina Beautiful by Avon at the Charlotte Ronson New York Fashion Week Show

By TheGlamtastic · September 15, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
The tents were buzzing with excitement while Avon's lead stylist Allen Ruiz created hair looks for the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 show at Mercredes-Benz Fashion Week. 

The inspiration for the look? The hair was created to look like these models had just stepped out of a dance class at Julliard and were scampering across the city from one New York hot spot to the next. The look reflects the designer's Spring Collection, which was classic 80's style with hints of delicate femininity. 

To get the look at home:

Step 1: Prep hair from root to tip with Advanced Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray, which will enhance natural shine and create additional volume.

Step 2: Use a paddle brush and hair dryer, along with Advanced Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray. Spray and dry hair section by section to create a soft and smooth texture. 

Step 3: As a next step, gather the hair tightly to form a ponytail at the crown of the head. 

Step 4: Grasp the hair at the base of the ponytail and twist hair firmly in one direction to form a kink into a spiral. Secure the look with bobby pins. 

Step 5: Allow wispys to play up the natural texture.

Step 6: Spray the look with hair spray to complete and secure the style. 

Is this a look you love or one you'll leave on the runway?
