Master the Sleek Braided Pony at Cushnie SS ’19
Step 1: Wash your hair.
Start with a clean, keratin-infused base by washing and conditioning your hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. This will ensure that you start your style off sleek and smooth.
Step 2: Prep your hair.
Next, spritz your damp hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Spray. Be sure to spray the product all over before blow drying your strands.
Step 3: Create the pony.
Brush all of your hair straight back (sans part) into a low ponytail and mist the hair with TRESemmé Repair and Protect 7 Pre-Styling Spray as you smooth the hair back. Secure with a black rubber band. Ursula Stephen, TRESemmé NYFW stylist, stresses the importance of using the pre-styling spray while creating the ponytail: “This will make hair very smooth and shiny while protecting it from any breakage or damage from the braiding.”
Step 5: Braid and secure.
Braid the ponytail in a classic three-strand braid and secure the bottom with a second rubber band.
Step 6: Secure flyaways.
Use just a touch of TRESemmé TRES Two Mega Firm Gel to smooth any flyaways throughout the braid and surrounding the face.
Step 7: Done!
Secure your style with a mist of TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hair Spray Extend Hold Level 4 to hold the look in place.
