Step 2: Blow-dry the hair in the direction you want it to sit
“This is especially true around the crown and front,” he explains. “This gives you control and a sleek silhouette without flattening the volume.”
Step 3: Pull your hair into a half-up pony
“Gather a half-pony where you want the bow to live (mid or high works best) and secure with a clear elastic,” says Larry. “The base should feel firm but not tight — this is your anchor.”
If the hair feels too slippery, he advises adding a touch more of the Volumizing Mist just at the base of the pony for extra grip. “The bow should look shaped, not stuck. Always finish by loosening it slightly for that effortless, celebrity feel.”
Step 4: Split the ponytail into two equal sections
“Take the left section and fold it back toward the elastic to create a loop — this is one side of the bow,” says Larry. “Pin it discreetly at the base. Then repeat on the right side, mirroring the shape, so you get two balanced loops. Leave the tail ends hanging down or tuck them softly under, depending on how clean you want the look.”
Finish with a fine mist of hairspray and “use your fingers to gently pull and shape the loops so they look full, soft and symmetrical.”
