To perfect an artfully undone bun - spritz a strong hairspray directly onto your brush and slick back into a low pony. Tease strands out with your fingers to get a rougher texture before twisting into a bun.

Glossy Ponytails
This season's ponytails are perfectly kempt with razor-sharp partings. Be sure to wear yours low and loose down your back to echo the catwalks.

To nail the pin-straight parting be sure to have a fine-tooth comb to hand.

A great trend to trial if you like experimenting with products.
