Sleek Hairstyles for On the Go
The “Sleek Model Off Duty” looks have taken the internet by storm. This is amazing news for all of us who are constantly pressed for time, as they are incredibly simple to achieve! All you need are a couple of products and some basic hair accessories.
Well, let’s get started!
The Sleek Low Pony
For a Sleek Low Pony, you will need:
- Hair Elastic
Sounds easy enough, right? (Because it is.)
Step One
You’re going to want to get that hair HYDRATED!!! We recommend using our Gloss.ME Cannabis Sativa Seed Hair Serum, however, any hair serum will do.
Typically, when using a serum, you focus the majority of the product towards the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. However, in this situation, we would recommend bringing the serum slightly higher than you typically would.
Doing this will help smooth any flyaways from your look and keep consistent shine throughout the hair. This will also help blend out those oily roots if you haven’t washed your hair in the past couple days (or weeks, we don’t judge).
Step Two
Step two will be to add your hair tie!
To do this, brush your hair in the general direction that you want it to lay (I like to pull mine directly back for ultimate sleekness, but you can do a middle or side part as well).
Then, tie your hair with the hair elastic! Simple.
Step Three
Now that your hair is nice, shiny and tied back, it’s time to lock it in place.
For this situation, we would recommend using a low-medium hold hairspray (luckily for you, our Hold.ME Three Way Hairspray does both).
We recommend this because it still gives you the flexibility to fix your look throughout the day and retouch where needed.
You should find that you need less smoothing power from the hairspray because of the serum that we used first, which helped with the flyaways.
Final Sleek Pony Product
And you’re done!! Easy, right?
What’s great about this look is that you can truly alter these three steps to suit whatever occasion you need it for; whether it’s work or a night out.
Okay, onto the next one...
The Sleek Low Bun
So, what’s great about this look is that you can use the progress you already made with the 1st look, the sleek low pony.
For a Sleek Low Bun, you're going to need:
- 1-2 Hair elastic
- Bobby Pins
Step One
If you are starting fresh, please reference the above steps for the “sleek low pony” to get the base for your sleek low bun.
Once you have gotten to the low ponytail stage, it’s time for the fun.
(Oh, that rhymes! #talent)
Step Two
We recommend adding some additional serum to the ends of your ponytail if it feels even remotely dry. This is to ensure that our bun is going to be as smooth as possible.
Step Three
Now, you’re going to want to start twisting your ponytail, making it easier to start wrapping around itself.
You are going to start wrapping all of your hair around the base of the ponytail until you are left with what is a neatly wrapped bun.
Once you reach this stage, we recommend securing the bun with an additional hair elastic, as well as some boy pins to really secure it for the day ahead. Finish with some medium-hold hairspray.
Sleek Low Bun = Done!
These are great hairstyles, as they can transform from one another with minimal effort, zero heat and you still don’t have to worry about washing your hair.
