Huffer @ NZFW 2011 - Greg Murrell for KMS California
The Huffer design team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the label stays true to its heritage of functionality. Military-styled, heritage-inspired uniform aesthetic features an earthy palette of army greens, greys, and maroons.
After meeting with show stylist Zara Mirkin, KMS California Hair Director Greg Murrell created a look that worked with the nomadic inspiration behind the styling. The style had to accommodate extensive use of head wraps, so a wrapped bun was created at the crown, with hair at the sides clipped back. Hair remaining at the back is left to float freely creating a modern up/down hairstyle.

1) Prepare hair by spraying KMS California AddVolume Volumizing Spray RRP$34 into the hair and blow-drying it with hands to create volume.
2) Put a small amount of bend in the hair using a conical tong in about 6 sections, concentrating on the mid-lengths.
3) Take a circular section encompassing the area from the high crown to the occipital.
4) Lightly back-brush this entire area in sections towards the roots starting at the roots and moving upwards.
5) Texture-set this area by clamping flat irons and allow to cool, then brush it out. There will now be extra volume in this area.
6) Pull the Ponytail up and lightly brush the surface area outwards from the roots right around the ponytail.
