HOW TO: LOW SLUNG PONYTAIL
1. Start by blow-drying the hair with diamond oil and new pillow proof primer to give hair lustre and softness. Rootful around the parting and hairline before blow-drying helps control the shape.
2. A centre part with little height at the crown is created by distributing the hair back from the high point of the head and a narrow profile at the nape makes it feel new, cool and easy.
3. Cover the elastic with a strap of hair from the pony and secure it with forceful hairspray.
Show # 3: We are Handsome

HOW TO: STRUCTURED FAUX HAWK

2. Take a side parting from above the temples, where the head starts to curve, around to the crown, repeat on the other side. Clip away this section. Make a verticle parting from the middle of the crown down to the nape creating two equal sections. Apply 1 pump of Tame Frizz smoothing lotion to mid lengths and ends. French braid your first section, one inch from the part and secure at nape with clear elastics, repeat on the other side.
3. Clip in extensions between the braids, measure wefts to sit in between 2 french braids. Apply small amount of glue to the top of the weft place in between braids and set with cool air. Continue up the head leaving 1cm sections between wefts.
