Chris Appleton is the man behind the mane of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande. So it's safe to say he is the leading expert in half-up half-down ponytails specifically. If you struggle with nailing the style and always end up looking like Legolas from Lord of the Rings (just us?), Appleton stopped by with some of his favorite Color Wow products to give us the ultimate celebrity hair tutorial.
One of Appleton's red-carpet-ready hair tricks is to use a clip-in hair piece to cover the elastic. The clip-in adds bulk and volume to the hair and makes the style look a little more luxe than the one you wore in high school. Watch the step-by-step tutorial above, shop the hero Color Wow product, and stay tuned for two more hair tutorials coming soon.
