#Repost @honest_beauty | Here's what you'll need to recreate @JessicaAlba's slick, modern hair from last night's @VanityFair Oscar afterparty: Heat Defense Spray, Volumizing Spray, Sea Salt Spray, and Moisture Milk Leave-In Conditioner. Celebrity Hairstylist and #HonestBeauty Brand Ambassador, @Jennifer_Yepez, gives us the step-by-step. (1) Spray hair with our Heat Defense Spray and Volumizing Spray, then blow dry hair all the way through. (2) Next, gather hair in a high pony and fasten with an elastic band. Wrap a strand of hair around the elastic to cover. (3) Take a 1.5 inch curling iron and create a slight bend in large sections throughout the pony for texture. (4) After you weave the hair, comb it out and use a little Sea Salt Spray throughout for texture. (5) To smooth the hairline, use a medium hold hairspray and clean using a toothbrush. (6) Add some Moisture Milk to the ends for the finishing touch. PRO TIP: When blow drying, use a flat brush and dry hair in the front and on the sides in the same direction as the ponytail to get that smooth finish all around. Link in bio to shop.

5. Lily Aldridge’s Textured High Pony: Aldridge steers clear of “messy-pretty” territory with a gently pulled back and tousled pony. The subtle arrangement includes a hint of natural wave for just the right amount of texture.
