(New York, NY) – Lindsey Olson, Sam Villa Ambassador @lindsey.marie.olson, says high, twisted, tight buns with a 90’s sleek finish are trending. The smaller shape compliments the fuller silhouettes of oversized cropped tops, wide leg pants and chunky lug soles. Learn how to do it here.
“This glossy knotted style can easily be adapted for trend forward guests, as well as those looking for relevant special occasion styles,” says Olson.
Tools and Products Used:
Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer with concentrator, tail comb, Artist Series Finishing Brush, dry sectioning clips, Sleekr Professional Straightening Iron, elastic cord, Redken High Hold Thermal Spray and Spray Wax.
Highlights
- Spraying each section with thermal spray and positioning a finishing brush really close to the head while trailing the blow dryer and directionally blow drying helps create a sleek, tight, high-polish finish. It pushes hair close to the scalp while smoothing the cuticle.
- Directing hair on the sides up higher than the cheek bones is really flattering.
- Sectioning hair into multiple ponytails and then joining them together is what creates the tight controlled shape and surface.
- Use an elastic cord and butcher’s knots for a bump-free tight ponytail.
- Twisting the two sections of the final ponytail in opposite directions before wrapping around the base of the tail forms more detail to the look.
