straight up – high!
Avram, who invented this amazing hair and made the opalescent petal collar, gives detailed
instructions how to “loop-de-loop” which includes drying for 8 hours and a coat of
Vidal Sassoon’s “Hair-In-The-Sun.” If you want detailed instructions, let me know
and I will post them.

Anecdote: We fell in love with Opalescent cellophane, found it during a research
trip on Canal Street, and Avram used it throughout the campaign; we also gave a sample
of it with the press release. See it in Photos 16 – 19 in color as a background, as clothes,
as a hair accessory and flowers. Somewhere, I have a color photo of this.
