Nomadic tribes-and Tibetan culture-inspired Bibhu Mohapatra's A/W 2014 collection.
Amit Abraham -lead stylist---advises his team |
The hair styles-designed by lead artist Amit Abraham and his team from L'Oréal Professionnel ---impressively took the rich cultural Tibetan Buddhism symbol of the endless (eternal) knot---and crafted the models long locks (extensions used if needed)…into-
... VERY elaborate back buns composed of twists and turns.
Straight locks were prepped with L’Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Root Spray to add density before blow-drying hair straight. Then hair was combed back---with a kind of triangular/trapezoid shaped-back side parts…delineating the plains of the head.
Hair was gathered into three ponytails---using a lot of L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 3 Hairspray for shine and L’Oréal Professionnel True Grip a texturizing powder, for hold. The low ponytails hit just above-the nape of the neck---there was actually a lower part-all precisely 'drawn' with what looked like a knitting needle...as pictured.
Then-the center ponytail was divided into two sections-knotted,
…with two side ponytails-box braided. FYI-. Box-braiding is a technique used to create a three-dimensional braid by weaving four sections of hair together.
Then-2 1⁄2 inches of the tail was left unbraided and secured with an elastic and pins. Finishing touch-braids were wrapped in a circular shape at the back of the head…also secured with pins. Followed by even more L’Oréal Professionnel Freezing Mist for long-lasting hold, and L’Oréal Professionnel Perfect Shimmer for shine.
