Look of the Day: Anna Kendrick's Textured Ponytail Look of the Day: Anna Kendrick's Textured Ponytail
When you think of trolls, you probably think of crazy hair that looks like you stuck your hand an electrical socket. While Anna Kendrick's textured ponytail played up the wild side of a typical troll 'do, it also looked ultrachic at last night's Los Angeles premiere of "Trolls." Kendrick teamed up with her stylist, Craig Gangi, to get the playful hairstyle. "Her dress is soft and sweet, so I wanted to rough up her hair to complement it in a edgier way," Gangi says.
To create her look, Gangi applied Matrix Style Link Smooth Setter Smoothing Cream to Kendrick's damp hair, and blow-dried her strands with a round brush. "Anna has naturally coarse, curly hair," Gangi says. "Smooth Setter was perfect because it gave a satiny finish without weighing it down." Once dry, Gangi flat-ironed her hair straight, and sprayed each section with Matrix Style Link Heat Buffer Thermal Styling Spray to protect her hair from extra damage. "Even though her hair is curly, it's fine," Gangi says. "It's so important to protect hair from heat, but with a lightweight product."
Once her strands were perfectly straight, Gangi created a middle part. He then took small, random sections from around her head and crimped hair from roots to ends to create more texture in the sleek look. Once satisfied with the added roughness, he pulled hair back into a low ponytail, crimped a large section of hair to wrap around the elastic, and secured the style with pins. To give Kendrick's hair just a touch more texture, he teased the ponytail and spritzed Matrix Style Link Fixer Finishing Hairspray to lock in the style.
If it's wrong to want to "look like a troll" after ogling Kendrick's gorgeous hair, then we don't want to be right.
