The Ulla Johnson show is always a dream, and the hair looks are no exception. The spring/summer 2025 show that took place at New York Fashion Week in September was inspired by the paintings of American artist Lee Krasner, whose vibrant patterns and prints are used throughout the collection. Oribe Session Stylist Joey George (@joeygeorge) brought Ulla's vision to life by creating whimsical patterned looks for the hair, like the paisley braids that drew on intricate shapes from the collection.

Natural Curls

Apply Foundation Mist to freshen up the hair’s natural curl and wave texture.
