GET THE LOOK: HAIR

· Part clean hair to the left side

· From the crown of the head moving towards the back, pull hair into a low ponytail, leaving free sections on both sides of the head

· Section by section, use PHYTO Professional Wet Gel to saturate the hair inside of the ponytail to create a smooth and sleek look

· Use the PHYTO Professional Wet Gel again to saturate the hair on either side of the head

· Comb and blowdry the hair in the front section to the right, using cold air to create wave

· Twist both sections of hair on either side of the head away from the face and towards the ponytail

· Separate the ponytail into two pieces and twist into a rope braid while using PHYTO 9 to smooth the strands.

· Secure the rope braid and twist it into a chignon

· Finish with PHYTO Phytolaque Soie Hairspray and PHYTOHuile Soyeuse Lightweight Hydrating Oil for added shine
