• Rope Braid Ponytails At Public School's Spring 2016 Show
Get the look: Pull hair into a ponytail and secure tightly with an elastic tie wrapped three times around the base of the pony to help set it away from head. Using a coin-size amount of Aveda Smooth Infusion Nourishing Style Creme in the palm of the hands, smooth over the pony from elastic to ends. Take a small section of hair from under the pony to wrap hair around the base, hiding the elastic and securing with pins. Divide the ponytail into two even sections. Begin to tightly twist both sections clockwise to the end. Secure the end with an elastic. Set your rope braid ponytail with a little styling cream and hair spray to eliminate flyaways.
• Chic Chignons At Katie Ermilio's Spring 2016 Show
Get the look: Spritz completely dry hair with a texturizing spray like Eufora Sea Spritz. Next, pull hair back off the face (tighter on the sides) and put in a ponytail at the base of the neck. Using fingers, rake through the top of the head to create separation and texture throughout. Tie a knot with the ponytail and tighten it to desired size. Pin into place. You can leave some ends out or tuck them under the knot.
