"This is a beautiful shape that has a strong edge, yet is soft at the same time," says Jenny Balding, Redken Styling and Grooming Expert. "It can enhance a client's cheekbones and bone structure. It's a great style for a confi dent woman who knows her own beauty and brings that to light." Balding's guide to getting the look: Alicia Vikander Saoirse Ronan "This classic low pony fl atters the face," says Gary Baker, UNITE Creative Director. "It works in its simplicity to complement the overall look while remaining unfussy and understated. This look works well for those with a self-assured confi dence who don't need to attract attention because naturally, they just do, thanks to their sense of style coupled with a demure quality." Baker's guide to getting the look: STEP 1 Prep with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, followed by a leave-in conditioner. STEP 2 Rough-dry hair until it's almost completely dry, then add a heat- shielding product. Proceed by going over hair with a large round brush and blow out. STEP 3 Dust with a light hairspray and divide hair into roughly six sections, curl with a styling iron and leave to cool. STEP 4 Brush out rear sections and secure the ponytail. Pull both the side and top sections over the base of the pony and secure with grips. STEP 5 Finish with a glossing spray. She just wants to look like how she would every day—but with a bit of an edge. For the no-fuss girl, draw upon Saoirse Ronan's simple ponytail.
