When working with hairstylist Duffy to develop the hair look for their fall 2009 show, English designers Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker were inspired by a fellow Brit. Based on a 1970s David Bailey photograph of Twiggy, tresses on PPQ's runway tended toward the side—twisted into a singular thick braid. To create the plaited style, Duffy blow-dried hair with L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.art Pli Heat Activated Setting Spray to give it clean, soft texture and parted it on the side. A premade braid of extensions was then sewn onto models' real hair and spritzed with Tecni.art Crystal Gloss Long-Lasting Shine Spray for a lustrous finish.
