See for yourself:(Photo by Getty)To emphasize the elegance of Packham's mid-17th century-inspired collection, TRESemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu created a soft, loose ponytail with polished ends — and finished each pretty pony off with a satin ribbon that matched the models' gowns.(Photo by ImaxTree)To get the look at...Read Full Story
