Give yourself some height!
Transcript
00:00Hi, I'm Dove celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend.
00:02I'm here at Refinery29 showing you some tips and tricks on how to make second day hair
00:07look cool and chic.
00:09I want to do an updo.
00:11It's a look I did on a photo shoot with Sofia Richie, and it's really, really, really a
00:15great hairstyle.
00:16We're going to do two buns on you.
00:22Give it a real good massage, but I don't want to brush it out.
00:25I like leaving all that starch in there because it does give you so much volume.
00:29And hold.
00:31I do want to brush your hair just so I can get apart.
00:35This should look quite effortless, but your hair color has really got me inspired.
00:45This is a super easy hairstyle for you to do on yourself, so you'll never have a boring
00:52second or third day again.
00:54You know, when you're at home to do this look, let gravity work with you and you can
00:58flip your hair upside down and brush it, but you've got a pro today, so I'm going up.
01:05Okay.
01:05To make it easier, we're going to do two ponytails, and then all you have to do is twist the
01:11ponytail
01:12into a bun.
01:14Because we have the ponytail, now we can go forward if we want a little more hair to be seen
01:21in
01:21the front and it actually be, like, really high, or I could go backwards with it and put
01:27the majority of the hair in the back.
01:31This is such a playful and fun look, so the higher the better.
01:35Because this is a fun hairstyle, it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect.
01:39When you get your ponytail, because again, I want to go forward as much as possible, so
01:44you just get your thumb right at the base of the pony and hook the hair around it.
01:57Get your thumb out and pin it within an intimate life.
02:02I use bobby pins underneath.
02:05Pin until you get the shape that you really like.
02:07I mean, we can move this around a little bit if we want a little more height.
02:10We can play with it.
02:12The two bobby pins underneath that's the foundation, you can now pin into them and it's going to
02:17give you so much more hold.
02:19You do want a little bit of length, so when you're going up, you want the back to come
02:22all the way up.
02:23So this is a really great look for girls with medium to long hair.
02:29You can part your hair to either side.
02:31This is really where you let your personality come through and really kind of make it your own.
02:36I always love putting my thumb right in front of the ponytail and hooking it.
02:46And then you can just kind of create the shape you want.
02:49Two bobbies underneath is our foundation.
02:54This is a hairstyle that really just you want to have a lot of fun with and really, really
03:01make it yours.
03:02So I'm taking those front bits.
03:04Now we can kind of perfect it with the hair that we left out.
03:07See, now we have a lot more control with the front and it looks a little more done.
03:11All that dry shampoo is giving us such, such, such good grip and hold.
03:16Okay, now don't go anywhere without a natural bristle toothbrush and some extra hold hair spray.
03:25And we can brush up all these little loose bits underneath.
03:33So this was our look inspired by a hairstyle I did for Sofia Richie for a photo shoot.
