Hair inspiration from celebrity hairstylist, Marcia Hamilton:
As Tinashe usually wears her hair down to perform, Marcia wanted something off her face and her shoulders for the red carpet–but edgier than the usual braid.
How-to
To prep before blowing dry, apply a cocktail of John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Six Effects + Serum and John Frieda Frizz Ease Straight Fixation Styling Creme to wet hair.
Blow dry hair straight almost entirely with a paddle brush, but concentrate on lifting hair at the roots but blowdrying with a round boar-bristly brush.
If necessary, use a flatiron to give hair an even sleeker look, with exception of any face framing pieces.
Pin two curls on either side of the head and let them set.
Take a triangular piece of hair in the center of the back of the head, separate into two pieces and knot.
Continue to pull pieces of hair from the sides of the head and knot in the back, creating a series of knots from the center of the head down the neck.
After all hair as been gathered and knotted, twirl the bottom of the hair, twist it up and pin in the back.
Release the pinned curls in the front of the head, brush them out, and finish by applying a light amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Styling Creme.
