My hair is probably as long as it has ever been (about bust-length), and while I love wearing it down and straight, often times when I go out at night I’ll deck myself-out in bold accessories and tend to feel like if I wear my hair down it’s a bit distracting from my outfit! I’m not into fussy up-dos so I’m all about a sleek ponytail (plus I get my hair cut with a razor so it has great texture at the ends which a ponytail shows-off). I’ve been a big fan of Redken’s Iron Silk 07 since it came-out a few months ago — it protects your hair from heat styling products, but it also speeds-up the process of getting your hair silky smooth. I just spray a little bit in my hair — section by section — as I’m straightening (don’t put too much or your hair will get a bit stiff). When you’re done straightening Kerastase has a new product called Double Force Controle Ultime which is a multi-protective finishing hair spray with a firm hold and protective UV shield that’s a great final touch before heading-out. Plus it helps guard against humidity while remaining light and free of residue which is especially important now that it’s starting to get a bit warmer out. The most important thing about a sleek ponytail however is for it to be frizz-free! Jump for some frizz control solutions!
