How-to: easy pageant hair with Kylie Verzosa

For the bun to look smooth and polished, start off with clean and well-conditioned hair that’s frizz-free and will hold a straight blow dry. So pick products that tame frizz while helping to keep hair smooth and straight such as Cream Silk Standout Straight Hair Reborn* Conditioner.

Towel dry your hair and then spritz it with a TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray to protect it from styling damage. Then, blow-dry your hair and tie it into a high ponytail. You can get creative here and decide how high or how low you want the bun to sit on your head — a low bun will make the look perfect for work while a high bun will be perfect for a night out with friends.

Next, pull the tail up and secure with a clamp up top. Here’s where it gets a little tricky. Pin the body by looping an elastic through two bobby pins. Pin one side of the ponytail, then stretch the elastic over the other side of the ponytail and pin it.

Once secure, tie the ends of your hair using an elastic and fold it down to create a faux bun. Take your time molding the shape before securing with bobby pins.

Make sure to spread your hair around to cover the elastic and pins. You want to the bun to look full (hence the name, super size!)

Mist TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray all over your hair to lock in the style. To add shine to your hair and to tame any other flyaways, you may also apply a small pump of hair gloss drops (like the TONI&GUY High Shine Serum Drops). You’re now ready to head out the door with a chic hairstyle ready for a party!
