Hair Trends – DIY Pony Tips & Tricks

Valentino Style

At Valentino, the hairstyle was a low ponytail with black ribbon headband. “The Valentino woman is very sophisticated, innocent, and youthful – with this style’s volume at the crown & sideburns, it creates a very rich quality style.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant.

Redken’s Create The Look Guide:

  1. Blow-dry velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow-dry gel into damp hair
  2. Create a 2 inch center part where the hair falls naturally
  3. Backcomb at the crown to create slight volume
  4. Pull hair into a low, loose ponytail at the nape of the neck, careful not to pull to tight as to keep the volume at the crown
  5. Pull a few pieces out to create slight sideburns
  6. Secure with an elastic and cover elastic with a piece of hair
  7. Place the black ribbon headband around the head and finish with Forceful 23 spray
