Step-by-Step Guide to Polished Hairstyles
Sleek and Shiny Ponytail
1. Prep Your Hair
Start with clean, towel-dried hair. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to ensure your hair is free from buildup and ready for styling.
2. Apply Elements Xclusive Soft Paste
Apply a small amount of Elements Xclusive Soft Paste to damp hair. This versatile styling paste is perfect for all hair lengths, providing flexibility for creating various styles. Infused with marula oil and French oak extract, the paste hydrates and protects your hair, ensuring a sleek and shiny finish without the greasy feel. Work the paste through your hair from roots to tips to add texture and light hold.
3. Create Your Ponytail
Brush your hair back and gather it into a high or low ponytail, depending on your preference. Secure it with a hair tie. The light hold of the Soft Paste will help maintain the sleekness of your ponytail without weighing it down.
4. Finish with Essentials Super Strong Hold Hair Spray
Once your ponytail is in place, lock in your look with Essentials Super Strong Hold Hair Spray. Hold the can about 10-12 inches from your hair and spray evenly. This hair spray provides an extra firm hold that keeps your style intact all day.

Voluminous Textured Waves
