PONY UP
At Charlotte Ronson's spring '09 show during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City, lead stylist for Sebastian Professional Thomas Dunkin created loose, textured ponytails. He first spritzed the hair with water and applied Sebastian Professional Liquid Steel to the roots, then let the hair air-dry. Next, he applied Craft Clay remoldable matte texturizer and pulled the hair into a ponytail, loosening it so that wisps of hair fell forward, fixing the look with Re-Shaper hairspray. "It should look like the girl's done it herself," he says. —L.A.
