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.

STEPS
Create a strong side part on the left side of the head and divide the hair into a left, right and back section.
Prep the sections with Aveda Smooth Infusion™
Naturally Straight, and blow-dry the hair directing strands away from the face. This will add the straightness needed in the front.
Once straight, mist hair with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray. Working horizontally from one side, wrap sections of hair around large U-pins in a figure-8 pattern. Secure each with a small clip.
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.
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.
Pull the sides of the hair back to a meeting point that is just left of center, secure sections with a clear elastic. Take a bottom section of hair at the nape and wrap around the elastic and secure with a pin.
Finish with a spritz of Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray.
