One Trick Pony

In that brief flash of summer we enjoyed, I heard lots of clients asking for advice on battling frizzy hair. Heat, humidity and rainy showers can wreak havoc with your luscious locks and it's not a good look, is it?

It's easy to beat the frizz with the perfect ponytail – (and no, it's not only a style worn by school girls) the pony is one of summer's key looks. As seen on the runway at Donna Karan, 3.1 Philip Lim and more recently, at the ECA Fashion Show styled by our very own creative senior stylist Ryan McCreadie and team.

Whether you want it chic & sleek, high & striking or soft & understated, there are so many ways to wear this simple style.

What’s your favourite ponytail? Check out the celebs below for some inspiration. I'm not sure about Katy Perry's look but I had to salute her bravery with fun colours. Now, how can I work a pony into my look...?
