Brad Pitt’s casual ponytail he wore to the World War Z premiere is easy to re-create says Michelle Blaisure, Director of Education for Bosley Professional Strength.

TRY IT: Work a light hold gel into towel-dried hair and then follow up with a full blow dry. Next, work one or two drops of a light shine enhancing and smoothing oil into the hair. Using your fingers, rake the hair back into a ponytail. While holding the hair, wrap an elastic band around it twice, then, while still holding the hair at the base, tuck the “tail” under, catch it with your thumb, hold and wrap the elastic band once more to secure the tail within the base. Finish with a light hold hairspray Like Bosley Professional Strength Styling Hairspray.
