2 NEW HOT HAIR LOOKS TO TRY RIGHT NOW
The thrill of working on a cover shoot never fades - and I've worked on hundreds of them! I still get excited about the creative process, the teamwork and witnessing an image come to life and tell its story. This month two covers I've shot have hit the newsstands. Both feature strong, powerful A-list women wearing very different hair looks. Lily-Rose Depp's cover for W Magazine was a tight, slicked-back high ponytail that portrayed a woman in complete control. Priyanka Chopra Jonas's hair look for her cover Elle USA was intentionally full-on sexy. There was high side parting and lashings of volume, reflecting the fun and fearlessness of an absolute goddess who is living on her terms.
Both are super-hot hair looks right now - so have a play!

In total control and snatched with Self Control Gel and Modern Hairspray for a sleek and glossy pony.
Sam's Tip: Work Self Control through the roots and smooth over the top with a soft bristle brush for a super sleek finish.
