This loose, low ponytail is your go-to spring hairstyle

accreditation
Temperley London debuted their 2016 Spring/Summer collection at London Fashion Week recently, and while the designs were sublime, one of the best things about the show was the hair.

The models wore loose, low ponytails with a few stray strands falling out in the front.

It is simple, elegant and most importantly, highly functional.

Wearing your hair untied when it's boiling outside can get you all hot and bothered. Yet, we all know how wearing a tight ponytail or bun for hours on end can take it's toll on your tresses.

This hairstyle is the perfect middle-ground.

Global Moroccanoil ambassador, Antonio Corral Calero, who did the hair for the Temperly London show, shares what inspired him to use this look. 

"This season I was inspired by the flowing, printed fabrics, and Cuban culture. The hair look is a low texturized ponytail, which emulates summertime with a hint of sensuality.

With strands falling gently into the face, the hair creates a mysterious and flirtatious confidence. A hat can be added on occasion to bring masculinity to the style."

Antonio explains how to get the look:

Apply Moroccanoil Treatment to wet hair and blast dry.

Split hair into three sections (to the sides and to the back), apply Moroccanoil Root Boost in uneven zig-zag motions and blast dry, using the fingers to work it into the hair. This will give the hair an uneven texture.

Create a deep middle part from the hairline to the crown.

Using your fingers, loosely rake the hair back into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure with an elastic. There is no need to use a brush - your fingers perfectly achieve the natural, easy look.

Take random sections of the ponytail, and loosely wrap around a 1 ½” inch barrel iron for added texture.

Do this to three or four sections.

Grabbing the ponytail with one hand, use the fingers of your other hand to weave into the top of the ponytail. Close your fingers tightly, to grip sections of hair in between, and lift them an inch to give the ponytail some additional volume above the elastic.

Take a pinch of Moroccanoil Molding Cream, rub into hands to warm up, and tap it down the ponytail for a disshelved finish.

Take a little piece of hair from underneath the ponytail, wrap it around the elastic a few times and then secure with a hair pin.

Pull loose a few strands of hair at the front to gently frame the face.
