Sleek pony: Jennifer Lopez

What? The catwalks are awash with ponies. Led by Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren, the sleek ponytail and its many variations is dominating the spring summer runways. A-Listers love this look for day and night – it’s both polished and practical and provides instant red carpet glamour. J-Lo is a big fan and keeps hers sleek, swept off of her face and half-up half-down at the back to soften the look.

How? Start with freshly washed and blow dried hair. Carefully spritz all over with a shine spray, making sure you don’t over-apply the product or it will look greasy. Separate hair into two sections, leaving some loose hair at the back. Take the larger section on top and comb away from the face into a high ponytail. Spray any wisps of hair that may have escaped with hairspray and smooth to the head. Spritz hair with a heat protector spray. Now with straightening irons, straighten the ponytail and add serum for a super glossy look. Take a section of hair from the back of the ponytail and wrap around the band. Secure end with a pin. Repeat with another piece of hair from underneath to create a larger look. Finish the style a-la J-Lo by straightening the underneath section of hair and adding serum.
