Step by Step:

  • Saturate hair with Kenra Platinum Luxe One Leave-In and brush thoroughly with a paddle brush

  • Gently brush hair into desired ponytail placement and secure with a hair tie

  • Take a palm full of Kenra Curl Glaze Mousse 13 and apply around the base of the hair to promote hairs natural texture while also minimizing flyaways

  • Use a small amount of Kenra Platinum Hydro Gel 13 on the ponytail and brush to define the curls

  • Wrap hair into a knot and secure with a bobby pins Lightly mist the completed look with Kenra Platinum Revive Oil and Kenra Platinum Finishing Spray 26
