To begin, I applied a cocktail of two key products after I shampooed and conditioned Danielle – a mixture of White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Thermal Spray to serve as a heat protectant (hair gets shinier as you use this spray with more heat!) and Redken’s Align 12 Protective Smoothing Lotion to work as a straightening balm. This product gives you more control over each section when drying while also strengthening the hair.
Once applied thoroughly and combed through from roots to ends, I dried her hair in large sections using a round brush and the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer.
I then curled her whole head with 1 1/2″ Curling Iron from Hot Tools for extra-large, bouncy waves. A barrel this size gives a continuous “S” shape, creating a loose, airy curl.
Next, I sectioned the hair in front of the ears and applied IGK’s Rich Kid Coconut Oil Gel and brushed it up into a high pony on the crown, securing it with a clear, elastic bungee.
For an extra sleek finish, I continued to smooth the hair down around the face with BioSilk’s Silk Therapy Firm Hold Finishing Spray and a toothbrush. This catches even the tiniest of baby hairs.
To complete her look, I added a bow from Henningsen & Co. Known as their Petite Rogue Bardot Bow, this accessory is a bold statement piece instantly adding elegance and flair to any hairstyle, particularly this half up, half down style. It is set on a matte-black clip which makes it the perfect bow to attach to a high, sectioned off ponytail like this.
