100 indie stylist Volume 3 Issue 1 POWER TRIP by the Ulta Beauty Design Team GET THE LOOK This powerful shape was created by prepping the hair with a strong hold volumizing mousse. Then, a blowout set was created using a large boar-bristle round brush for shine and polish. The set was pinned and allowed to cool before dropping. A center-on-scalp braid was created from 1 inch behind the hairline, extending to the occipital bone. A mesh donut shape was cut in half and wrapped in extension hair that matched the model's natural hair. Once set, the additional piece was pinned into place using large, serrated hair pins. The remaining hair was manipulated into a smooth ponytail by taking 1-inch vertical sections and combing them into place using a finetooth tail comb and pomade at the root area for additional sleekness. The hair was then secured at the base of the nape with elastics, and additional pre-prepped extension pieces were wrapped around the ponytail to amplify fullness. The hair was detailed with a fine-tooth comb and flexible working spray to eliminate flyaways. To finish, three small braids were created separately using delicate gold chain braided into the hair and were then placed using large, serrated hair pins.
