Show Notes: “When fragility and strength combine” inspired Eugene to bring two opposing forces together to create this spiraling soft bun style. Use Wella Professionals EIMI Mystify Me Strong for a tight, sleek look and EIMI Dry Me Dry Shampoo for texture. Smooth out the hair using a ghd platinum+ styler before securing with elastics and twisting.
