According to Jonathan Long, Creative Hairstylist for Eun Jeong A/W’11, “Hair is all about being big, sexy and feminine. Now is a great time to play with different textures, interesting shapes and movement in the hair. This hairstyle is classic with a modern twist, combining period glamour with a contemporary romantic edge.”
To achieve this style at home, begin by applying Volupt Spray by Sebastian Professional from roots to ends into clean damp hair. Roughly blow-dry hair using fingers instead of a brush to encourage natural texture and waves. Once dry, use a wide barrelled curling tong to define curls and add extra waves to hair before tonging strands at the front into loose waves that hang free to soften the finished look. Loosely pull hair away from the face and secure in place with a hair elastic then shake the ponytail to make it look soft and messy. Tuck the ponytail section under the hair at the nape of the neck and pin into place then shake again. Tease out some fine strands of fly-away hair for the soft, romantic finish. Place one corner of your silk scarf across the forehead then gather the scarf and secure to the back of your hair with a kirby grip, continue to ruche the scarf until you achieve your desired shape and discreetly secure in place. For true vintage colour, Jonathan advises “channel Christina Hendricks’ rich, copper-red hair for a touch of 1940’s ‘silver screen’ glamour with Clairol Perfect 10 in 8RB Medium Reddish Blonde. The high gloss, luxe colour will add the perfect finish to your Vintage Scarf Up-Do.”

It’s an unusual look, but one that could work really well as we come into the party season – something totally different from classic up-dos.
