Dascha Polanco’s Sleek Pony with Gold Leaf Detailing
By: Cynthia Alvarez
- To obtain this look, I started by applying the Dove Regenerative Nourishment Serum-In-Oil to her damp hair from roots to ends. This helps to control frizz while adding in shine.
- Next, I blow dried her hair in small sections, making sure to point the nozzle downward to flatten her roots. Once her hair was completely dry, I used a flat iron on the ends.
- I aligned her deep side part with the arch of her brow (this placement is the most flattering) and gathered her hair into a low ponytail. Once secured with a ponytail holder, I took a small piece of loose hair and wrapped it around the base to conceal the ponytail holder and pinned it into place.
- Now this is where it gets fun!To prepare her hair for the gold foil, I applied a thin layer of gel to her part and the base of the ponytail. Using the open end of a bobby pin, I broke off small pieces of the foil and placed them directly onto the gel. It can get tricky as the gold can be delicate and sticks to everything so I made sure my placement was deliberate. I repeated the same steps for the base of the ponytail. To set the gold foil in place, I finished the look off with the Dove Style + Care Flexible Hold Hairspray.
