inDETAIL Hair at Stolen Girlfriends Club

Stolen Girlfriends Club’s Winter 2012 collection, “Here Lies the Bones”, captures a free-spirited globe-trotting magpie with a slightly twisted itinerary on a journey to the darker corners of the globe. It sounds like the boys had smoked a doobie when they dreamt this up but it is fairly apt description of their own wonderlust and allows a pretty loose definition to the range.

Hair Director Greg Murrell created an edgy yet feminine style to go with theme. (Remember 2009′s gypsy’s?) This look is a little bit punk with a softer edge. It’s pretty cool. Here’s the details for you to achieve this look:

1. Lightly relax any wave or curl with flat-irons.

2. Apply KMS SilkSheen Styling Creme (RRP $34) for light hold.

3. Working with any natural partings or growth patterns, take a triangular section of hair from the high recession on either side of the head to the low crown.

4. Tie a knot towards the roots by pulling the ends through to form a small ponytail.

5. Lift the knot upwards and temporarily affix to the head using a sectioning clip to get it out of your way before doing hte next knot.

6. Take your next section from the low front hairline on either side of the head back to the occipital. Knot, ponytail and section away as before.

7. Take back the remaining hair and create the last knot at the high nape being sure to leave some hair out at the nape to float freely.

8. Next, take out the sectioning clips and allow the top two knots and ponys to drop.

9. Tension the knots to the head and use hair grips to fix them in place.

10. Take the top 2 ponytails and affix them closely to the knots using hair grips for effect.

11. Next, take a blunt needle and some linen thread and sew underneath the knots to secure them to the head going from side to side in a figure of 8 pattern.

12. When complete, remove the hair grips and apply KMS California Hairplay Dry Wax (RRP$36) to achieve the desired finish with matte surface texture.
