Lead hairstylist Bok-Hee says:
“For the extensions I used the Smooth Tahitian Noni and Monoi collections. I used it on the extensions to smooth it out. It’s great for blow drying and just great for anybody that has a little bit of dryness. It’s really smooth and creamy and helps to get all the frizzies out and smooth the ends. “
Makeup artist Sir John says:
“The vision was to always keep the woman looking strong. The beauty look completely reflects this ultramodern vibe – the eyes are bold, while the nails are dramatic in design. With this in mind, I went about creating this linear, severe ponytail that perfectly complemented the overall finished look.”
Get the Hair Look:
- Apply SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair Blow Out Cream to protect hair and add shine before drying. Using a paddle brush, dry hair brushing away from the face, towards the crown of the head.
- Massage SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé between hands and use to pull hair into a severe ponytail at the crown. Secure with an elastic.
- Once secured, spray SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser onto paddle brush and smooth the ponytail.
- Combine SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser and Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling 5. Gel Soufflé in the palm of the hand and pull through the tail of the pony for intense shine and hold.
- Wrap wire around the base of the ponytail and manipulate so that the wire sits in the center of the tail, unseen.
- Twist the ponytail until it makes a tight rope with the wire in the center. Secure at the end with a small elastic.
- Still holding the roped hair, loop it back to the base of the head and secure with bobby pins. This will create a loop with the hair that points in a diagonal away from the head.
- Once firmly secured, twist the looped hair counterclockwise, creating a spiral effect.
- Slick back any loose hairs around the face with SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Edge Treatment.
- Finish by spraying SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Hold & Shine Moisture Mist for hold and hydration.
