The 1960s themselves may be long gone but sixties fashion continues to inspire. One brand who took cues from this very dynamic decade was Moschino for their spring / summer 2013 collection, and to get the right hairstyle for the show, they teamed up with Pantene Pro-V’s Sam McKnight. The result of this collaboration is a gorgeous half-up bouffant. Nothing says ’60s hair more than…

Duct tape: one of man’s greatest inventions and latest hair accessory? It was Alexander Wang who started it all, turning a simple ponytail into a very futuristic hairstyle by adding a strip of duct tape in the center part. Ingenious?
