From '80s retro to classic ponytails, ELLE reveals the hottest trends, products, tips and at-home tricks to getting gorgeous -- and so on trend --hair!
The trend: The new ponytail
Rocked the runways at: Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Missoni
Love it 'cuz: An upgrade from your basic pony, "this style starts with adding volume to the hair so it's a bigger look overall," says Barr.
Get it at home:
1)Apply a serum to clean, towel-dried hair
2)Blow-dry using a two-inch round brush
3)Prep hair with mousse and set it in hot rollers for 10 minutes
4)Remove rollers and brush out. Gently tease at the roots, using a little hairspray for hold
5)Pull hair back and secure with elastic. You can wear it either high at the crown, low or off to the side.
6)Smooth a finishing crème over locks
Expert advice: Barr likes to dress up this style by wrapping a bit of hair around the elastic band to cover it. Use a small section from underneath the ponytail, securing it with a bobby pin.
