Mara Hoffman S/S ’13 Backstage Beauty #NYFW

Thomas Dunkin and the Sebastian hair team were on hand backstage styling the models’ crimped tresses with textured shine and a touch of the islands to complement Mara’s “Aloha” inspired collection full of color and prints.

Designer: Mara Hoffman

Hairstylist: Thomas Dunkin, Sebastian Professional Hair Team

Inspiration: Aloha-Hawaiian Tropics

The Hair Look:

1. Start with damp hair and apply Thickefy Foam throughout. Blow-dry the hair with a large round brush.
2. Starting from the under layer of the hair and working outwards, micro crimp small (2”) sections of the hair.
3. Backcomb and gently tease the hair to build more body and texture. Lightly spritz hair with Shaper Fierce hairspray to create flexible hold.
4. Select random pieces around the head and use various sized curling irons to create different effects and textures throughout.
5. Create a deep part at the front of the head and side sweep the hair flat across the top of the head. Use Shine Crafter wax to create a smooth, sleek look that holds the part in place.
