HOW-TO: 6 Celeb-Inspired Prom LooksBraided Crown

TRY IT: “For actress Sarah Hyland’s look, prep hair with CHI Infra Texture Dual Action Hair Spray,” says Matt Fugate, celebrity stylist from Sally Hershberger Salon Downtown NYC. “Distinguish the part. Separate a slight section at the hairline and apply CHI Pliable Polish to control and refine. This section is a smooth section around the face that will wrap around the ears at the end. Divide the remaining hair into two sections down the back of the head. Start braiding the hair, directing the braid up the back of the neck making sure not to make the shape too wide at the bottom. Once braid has been completed at the top of the head, clip in place so you can recreate on the other side. With each side braided, wrap around the crown and over the ears and secure at the nape.”
