autumn / winter hair trend: THE PONY

THE NEW PONYTAIL...
is looped, bumped, ponytails look unfussy yet refined.
Take a visual cue from these backstage shots and recreate a ponytail that works for you!

trend alert: THE LOOP

THIS STYLE {STRAIGHT FROM THE CATWALK} IS SO SIMPLE AND ELEGANT...

These low loops have been big at all the Fall Fashion Week shows ~ and although they may have appeared effortless, they were also pretty and polished—the definition of a good hairstyle. 

TO DIY: Rake Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream through dampened hair (to tame frizz and smooth strands) and blow dry hair. Create a centre part, then scrape your hair into a low ponytail, only taking the tail halfway through the elastic, finishing it off with a piece of hair wrapped around the band. Finally tug on the outer edges of the loop, forming a triangular shape.

Gorgeous!

the slick PONYTAIL

A HIGH PONYTAIL NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE FOR SUMMER

- especially if you keep it super-slick... 

 To ensure that frizz and flyaways aren't going to ruin your look, work a pea-size drop of smoothing lotion into your roots and hairline before blow-drying. Brush the hair back and secure it just below your crown. To make your ponytail gleam, rub a drop of shine serum between your palms, them run them over the tail from base to ends. 

+ If you're at the beach for the day, you can add a dollop of leave-in conditioner instead of the smoothing lotion to condition and protect your hair! 

 PS. This style works even better if your hair is a bit dirty!
