LOOK 1: PLAY WITH PARTING From being perfectly centered to a sensational side aligned hairdo, all the looks were flawless; with not a single strand of hair out of place, hence showcasing an impeccable finish. BANG-IN-THE-CENTER PART: Extremely simple, this parting begins precisely where the line joining the tip of the nose meets the hairline, and ends bang on the top of the head. Keep the entire length of the part adorned with golden pigments or a play on colour, for example, contrast dark roots with lighter lengths. This part can be used with hair left straight down or with a bun or ponytail.

MAGIC TOOLS Tecni.ART METALLIC GLOSS A light definition wax that acts like a radiance reflector for a lasting metallic shine result with texture, separation and a supple definition. Apply to dry hair as a finishing touch. Warm a small amount between the hands and work through the hair with fingers section-by-section or throughout the hair for a tousled look.

Priced at ₹575 for 50ml Tecni.ART CRYSTAL GLOSS Super-light lady-like shine spray, with an ultrafine, dry diffusion, this product creates a veil of crystal-like gloss with impeccable translucent shine. Use to finish on dry, styled hair. It comes in a compact tin can, small enough to carry around in your evening clutch.

Priced at ₹575 for 100ml Tecni.art AQUA GLOSS A gel for medium hold and a long-lasting wet look, this is great for slicked back hair on both short or long hair styles. Rub a small amount between hands and apply throughout wet hair. Perfect for achieving soft, in-control hair! Priced at ₹575 for 150ml INFINIUM INFINIUM, the new magician on the block, works on a professional diffusion formula with high speed, high invisibility, high shine and is highly defined. This hairspray instantly fixes hair, providing strong hold, and is ideal for creating all types of looks from back-combed, tousled, extra-voluminous to a defined, structured feel.

Promo STRONG SIDE PART, 7CM OFF-CENTER: This is quite a chic futuristic wet-textured style, provided it’s combined with waves or light-as-air lengths and ends. Create the part using a tail comb, carve a straight line starting at the top left or right corner of the forehead. A hairdo, which is totally on-trend! EXPERT TIP BY JAMES PECIS: Use the NEW Infinitely precise hairspray INFINIUM to finish your super smooth textured look. LOOK 2: PONYTAIL FOREVER The pretty ponytail made a comeback at fashion shows by Kenzo, Giambattista Valli and Peter Pilotto. You can wear the ponytail with much ease, high or low, as you please. Either way, it holds the power to be the glam game changer, anytime, anywhere. HIGH: Go for an ultra-graphic, impeccable ponytail which is attached high on the head and encircled with a section of hair; or opt for a cool ponytail that feature dreadlocks in pastel-colored fabrics.

LOW: If you like a soft ponytail, you can tie a fine satin ribbon, or sport a pinned version at the base of the neck in a sexy mess. EXPERT TIP BY ANTHONY TURNER: Want to fix the ponytail always at the same height? Imagine a line stretching from one tip of the ear to the other and then attach the ponytail in the middle of this line. You are set to go. A New Year calls for a fresh, new beginning.
