We asked Ashley to give us the low down on how she went about styling our hair for our shoot and more about the products she used. Take it away Ashley! I was inspired by several of the vintage looks Sarah and Michelle pulled for their fall fashion shoot. I wanted to create a simple yet extremely glamorous look for both of them with soft vintage waves. Sarah’s Hair : I applied Volumista and Foundation Mist to wet hair for volume, hold, and shine.
