Lead stylist, James Pecis created the Look for the Bora Aksu SS17 show with KMS California.
“The inspiration for the collection comes from a story of Bora’s grandmother during times of poverty and a beautiful sentiment of giving her what she never had. I wanted the hair to really reflect that era with volumes of braids and fluffy texture around the face.”
Get the Look
- Start by adding volume to the hair using KMS California ADDVOLUME Root And Body Lift and blow out
- For added texture, spray the hair with KMS California HAIRPLAY Makeover Spray and brush through with a soft bristle brush
- Using KMS California HAIRPLAY Playable Texture throughout, part the hair down the centre and section two parts from the front on the crown to the ears and clip back
- Section the remaining top half from the crown in the middle and secure in a ponytail
- Braid this ponytail into two separate plaits and secure with a rubber band
- Secure the remaining hair in a ponytail on the left side just above the nape and braid
- Going back to the first front section, brush the hair over the ears using KMS California HAIRPLAY Playable Texture and secure behind each ear and braid the ends
- From the middle section take both braids and pin in a circular motion above the elastic. Do the same with the base braid in the opposite direction and the side braids over the ears
- All braids should be fitted flat and once in place cut the elastics by the ears for a seamless finish
- Complete the look and hold in place with KMS California HAIRSTAY Medium Hold Spray
