Tools and Products To Get The Look:
- Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer with concentrator
- tail comb, Artist Series Finishing Brush
- Dry Sectioning Clips
- Sleekr Professional Straightening Iron
- Elastic Cord
- Redken High Hold Thermal Spray and Redken Spray Wax.
Style Tips:
- Spraying each section with thermal spray and positioning a finishing brush really close to the head while trailing the blow dryer and directionally blow drying helps create a sleek, tight, high-polish finish. It pushes hair close to the scalp while smoothing the cuticle.
- Directing hair on the sides up higher than the cheek bones is really flattering.
- Sectioning hair into multiple ponytails and then joining them together is what creates the tight controlled shape and surface.
- Use an elastic cord and butcher’s knots for a bump-free tight ponytail.
- Twisting the two sections of the final ponytail in opposite directions before wrapping around the base of the tail forms more detail to the look.
