Hey, chic mamas! It’s that time again. New York Fashion Week has arrived and the clothes are gorgeous. But what’s the best way to get inspired each season? Hair, of course! Whether you’ve got long tresses or a cute bob or pixie, there are elements from the spring runways that you can interpret for your own life. Date night? Check. Lunch with your girls? Double check. Rainy Saturday with nothing to do but play with your kids, and your hair? Get excited. This will be fun!

We’ll keep rolling out more ideas as we come across them. For now, give this chic Gatsby look a whirl!

Perfect for: A date with your hubby or happy hour with the ladies

How-To:

1. Prep wet hair with CATWALK® by TIGI® Your Highness Volume Collection Root Boost Spray and stretch dry with a blow dryer and a paddle brush.

2. For added texture, generously apply CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Transforming Dry Shampoo (works great on day-old hair, too!)

3. Pull hair back into a loose pony, covering the ears for that Gatsby-esque flirtacious look. Secure with an elastic.

4. Split ponytail into three even sections and spray with CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Finishing Spray to hold it in place without weighing it down.

5. Wrap each section of the ponytail around a curling tong and clamp into a curl allowing section to set.

6. Unclamp section and brush all together while molding hair into a slight finger wave. Affix with CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Finishing Spray.

For shorter hair, you can achieve a similar look by following steps 1 and 2 and pinning hair under in a swirl pattern for timely glam. Chic velvet hat? Optional.
