Tips & Tricks:
• Blow dry hair smooth with a light, nourishing oil
• Flat iron the hair
• Mix the light oil and a pomade in your hands and apply generously to the hair
• Use a Mason Pearson Brush and smooth out the hair, gathering into a high ponytail
• Create a loose braid and wrap it around the head
• Anchor with bobby pins and finish with a flexible hold hairspray such as Oribe Superfine for shiny, soft control

Tips & Tricks:
• Brush out hair and apply a light oil such as Oribe’s Gold Lust to prime the hair with moisture and shine and help with styling
• Bring hair back to create a low ponytail and secure with a hair tie, keeping it loose on top to preserve the texture (which is key for this look and makes it versatile enough to work for many hair types)
• For a more sculpted look, add some pomade (like Shu Uemura Shape Paste) to hair to make it sleek
• Take sections of hair and wrap around the base of your ponytail, anchoring loosely with bobby pins
• When all hair is pinned, brush the bun gently to pull out a few tendrils of hair
