How to:
Step 1: Blow-dry hair straight with a round brush and follow up with a flatiron to straighten if necessary.
Step 2: Apply a dime-sized amount of shine serum throughout dry hair.
Step 3: Using the boar-bristle brush, brush hair into a high pony and secure with an elastic.
Step 4: Use the pomade to smooth flyways or frizz in the front of your hair for a sleek look.
Step 5: Take a two-inch section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic, securing it underneath the pony with a bobby pin. You can use multiple sections to fully cover the elastic if necessary. (See photo A.)
Step 6: Divide the hanging pony into one- to two-inch sections and curl the midshaft to ends with a curling iron. (See photo B.)
Step 7: Spritz the top of your head and ponytail with hairspray to set the look.
How to:
Step 1: Blow-dry hair straight with a round brush.
Step 2: Make a deep side part and tuck hair behind ears.
Step 3: Using a fine-toothed comb, distribute smoothing serum through hair until hair has the wet/sleek look.
How to:
Step 1: Curl hair all over with a curling iron so hair has loose curls/waves.
Step 2: Divide hair into top and bottom sections horizontally, with most hair in the bottom section. Clip top section out of the way for now.
Step 3: Divide the bottom section in half vertically. Starting from the bottom of hair, roll up and pin with bobby pins at the nape of the neck. Repeat with the other side. (See photo A.)
Step 4: Divide top section of hair into four sections vertically and pull them across (move the left sections over to the right and the right sections to the left) and pin to cover lower-section bobby pins. (See photo B.)
Step 5: Spritz with hairspray to set.
