Thanks to the incredible Showpony Hair Extensions I was granted exclusive backstage access to the Virgin Australian Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF) to witness hustle, bustle, magic and mayhem behind the scenes.

I was also lucky enough to have had my hair done for the event by the team at Heading Out salon in Brunswick. They chose an Ice Blonde Wrap Around Ponytail, as inspired by the looks on the catwalk for VAMFF. I have never used hair extensions before, as I had enjoyed long hair for years, but these Showpony Hair Extension products really are amazing. 100% human hair, so soft to touch and the colour range is epic. The Ice Blonde was a bit lighter than my shade, but that made the impact of the ponytail even more dramatic. It was also so easy to attach and I instantly fell in love with it!

I had the immense pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Stephanie Mason (Director of Showpony) and Hair Director Brad Ngata who chatted to me about the week and the look for Runway 4 + 5 – sophisticated and simple, with a low ponytail – a stark difference from the grand showcase by Camilla the night before.
