The UNITE Hair team brought the drama (the good kind) to the Oh Polly runway show, creating two hairstyles designed to complement the collection’s glamorous aesthetic. We’re talking cascading, high-volume blowouts with a polished bombshell finish alongside sculpted, glossy buns that felt clean, modern and effortlessly chic.
Paired with Oh Polly’s lineup of corseted silhouettes, sparkling embellishments, fringe, hot pinks and statement evening dresses, the voluminous blowouts amplified the collection’s playful, feminine energy, while the sleek buns allowed the more intricate dresses and dramatic silhouettes to take center stage.
UNITE Hair lead stylist Allison Mercadefe shares, “A great dress deserves a great hair moment. A bouncy blowout brings out the glam, while a sleek bun gives you that effortless, pulled-together finish, both are easy looks to recreate at home and perfect for everything from nights out to fall events.”
Read on for a breakdown of each key look.
Get the Look: Bouncy Blowout
- Prep dry hair with BOOSTA Volumizing Spray, using a blowdryer to add grit, body and lasting volume.
- Curl hair away from the face with a 1 ¼-inch curling iron, and set to cool with GO365 Hairspray on the medium setting to keep the hair brushable but shaped.
- To finish, brush out curls and use cult-favorite TEXTURIZA Spray for instant fullness and lived-in movement.
Get the Look: Sleek Bun
- Gather hair to the middle back of the head using MAXCONTROL Spray for strong hold before smoothing and sealing flyaways with heat.
- Secure the ponytail with an elastic cord, polish with SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream, then twist into a bun and pin into place for an ultra-sleek finish.
