The Effortless Pony from Milly SS ‘19

Some of us are blessed to wake up in the morning and have our hair already styled the way we want it but this may not be the case for the rest. Sometimes, that “effortless” look takes a few styling tools and hair products.

Odile has a simple tip that we all can benefit from, “The key to any ‘I just woke up like this’ look is using your fingertips to create natural texture.” However, if you need a few more steps to really nail the look you want, follow the steps below:

“The key to any ‘I just woke up like this’ look is using your finger tips to create natural texture.” – Odile Gilbert, TRESemmé NYFW Stylist

Step 1: Start by washing hair with TRESemmé Thick & Full Shampoo and Conditioner to create a voluminous foundation.

Step 2: Create a clean part down the center of your hair. Use a coin size amount of TRESemmé Thick & Full Balm to give hair textured impact and then rough dry.

Step 3: Use a 3 ½ inch curling iron to create natural waves, spraying TRESemmé Volumizing Dry Shampoo on the roots to enhance natural texture, and separate curls with fingertips.

Step 4: Pull all hair back and fasten into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.

Step 5: Generously spray the TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hair Spray Boost Hold Level 3 to complete the look.
