Another throwback trend we’re glad to see again? Sophisticated straight and glossy hair. Olivia Wilde’s sleek pony is a chic example – here’s how to get the look:
1 Protect your strands
Use heat-protectant spray before you do any heat styling – you don’t want to fry your hair!
2 Sectioning is key
Once your hair is dry, flat-iron small sections then pin up the top layer temporarily so that you can run the straightener through the bottom layers.
3 Don’t go overboard
You want to leave a little body to give hair ‘movement’. Poker-straight locks aren’t always flattering.
4 Groom it
Comb hair back into a low pony. Make sure there are no ‘bumps’ at your crown (you want it to look polished after all). Spritz on a shine mist for extra gloss.
4 Maintain it
For touchups on-the-go, pack a small boar-bristle brush and some hairspray into your bag to maintain the sleekness.
