For the Ann Yee, spring/summer 2015 runway show, Aveda Guest Artist John Reyman created a sleek style that morphs into a rhythm of fitful waves coming together briefly off center, only to expand out into a full ponytail. “The super straight top that develops into rapid waves speaks to Yee’s vision of that time of year when an urban dweller is suddenly faced with a storm that can be forceful, moody and exhilarating,” says Reyman. See how he created this unique style. More How-TosAntoinette Beenders’ Soft, Twisted Pony Chignon Natural Waves from Aveda Roughed Up Braid (more…)

Hold each secure clipped section with a flat iron for 10 seconds to set the shape. Once cool, gently release the pins and brush the hair out with an Aveda Wood Paddle Brush. - 5Step 5 of 7
Work Aveda Light Elements™ Texturizing Creme into the waves with your hands, carefully maintaining definition, while also smoothing down the top of the hair at the crown. - 6Step 6 of 7
