Mara Hoffman always has AMAZING beauty looks to accompany her beautiful clothing on the runway, clearly compelling her nail, makeup, and hair team to push their artistic boundaries to the max. Taking various sources of inspiration from Star Wars, this season, Catwalk by TIGI US Creative Director Thomas Osborn created a “lady Luke Skywalker,”  and with the help of some product and practice, you can get the look too!

Using CATWALK® by TIGI Session Series™ Salt Spray and the Session Series Work It Hairspray (plus some pre-braided extensions), you’ll be channeling otherworldly, powerfully boho braided hair in no time! See below for the how-to steps:

  1. Begin by spritzing CATWALK by TIGI Session Series™ Salt Spray all over and make a center part from the hairline to the nape, sectioning the hair into two low ponytails.
  2. Using a flat brush and a bit of CATWALK by TIGI Session Series Work It Hairspray, smooth hair down and lock in the center part.
  3. With hair pins, secure the pre-made extension braid just behind the ear and cross over the crown. Repeat with a second pre-made braid in the opposite direction, crossing over the other braid to create an “X” formation on the head.
  4. Next, take out the ponytail elastics and start braiding the ends of the braids into each ponytail, using the traditional three-strand technique and adding in additional pieces of hair into the braid as you move down the hair length.
  5. Finish each side with an elastic, leaving a significant amount of un-braided hair below the elastic.
  6. Bring the two braids together, taking care to hide the pins and create the intertwined braids.
  7. Use fingers to gently tug out pieces of the braid to create an undone slightly lived-in look and finalize it with CATWALK by TIGI Session Series Work It Hairspray.
