We asked Lisa Laudat, the L’Oréal Paris celebrity hair stylist who created the look for Cheryl to give us a step-by-step guide.
“I created a glossy, high shine pony tail for Cheryl at the Cannes Film Festival,” said Lisa. “The sleek style perfectly complemented Cheryl’s Stephane Rolland dress.”
1. Wet hair with a spritz of water and apply Studio Line Silk & Gloss Volume Mousse from L’Oréal Paris, €6.39, to the roots to give hair bounce. Work the mousse into thescalp and blow dry with a large roller brush to create height and volume.
2. Create a side-parting by using a pin tail comb, this will help to create a clean line. Slick down the front section of the hair with a pea-sized amount of Studio Flick ’N Sweep Defining Gel Cream from L’Oréal Paris, €5.39, to hold in place.
3. Lightly backcomb the crown with a soft bristle brush to add volume and fullness to the hair. Follow with a generous spray of Elnett Satin hairspray to secure the lift
4. Gently run a brush over the hair to smooth the backcombing and keep the look sleek. Pull the hair back into a ponytail in line with the ears and secure it by hooking a bungee into the ponytail, wrapping it around the hair and hooking back into itself to hold securely without snagging.
5. Split the ponytail into two sections, with one smaller than the other. Take the smaller section and wrap it around the top of the larger ponytail securing it with grips – a great way to ensure that the grips hold thick hair is to bend the ends of the grips into a hook as this will add more support.
