NYFW Get the Look: Gangsta Genie Braid at The Blonds

The Blonds’ Spring 2015 collection is inspired by world-traveling, gangtsta genies – girls who are in three cities in one day and always ready for any sartorial situation. With this inspiration in mind, CATWALK® by TIGI® Global Creative Director Nick Irwin was able to refine this ‘I dream of genie’look by mastering a show-stopping, dramatic braid - truly fitting for The Blonds.  

Overall Look: Gangsta genie braid

How-To:

  • Mist wet hair with CATWALK® by TIGI® Fast Fixx Style Prep and comb through
  • Next, apply CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Wet Look Gel to small sections. Comb each section smooth and tight, and pull into a high ponytail at the crown of the head
  • Once edges are smooth, secure ponytail into a bun with pins. Set with CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Work It Hairspray creating a lacquered look and smoothing any fly-aways
  • Next, stretch base of the hair piece over bun, concealing natural hair, and secure in place with pins
  • Finish by spraying CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Work It Hairspray to the braid, taming fly-aways
