Join us as we break down the techniques and guide you through Anh’s process of recreating Jessica Biel’s captivating up-do!
Step 1

Anh started out by creating a deep center part in the hair, then he took two triangle sections from the front hairline and clipped them out of the way.

Step 2

He then sprayed the hair with a bit of Milbon’s Dry Texturizing Spray 4 for some added texture and grip.

Step 3

He then took two diagonal sections from the occipital bone, split the hair in half, and gathered the top part of the hair into a mid ponytail. 

Step 4

Then once the ponytail was secured, Anh took the bottom section, gathered it up, and then incorporated it into the top ponytail. 

Step 5

He then sprayed the hair with Milbon’s Strong Hold Hairspray 7.

Step 6

After, he smoothed any loose hair into the ponytail. 

Pro Tip: For a polished look, lightly apply hairspray to a boar bristle toothbrush and gently sweep it over the hair to tame any flyaways and achieve a sleek finish.

Step 7

Then, Anh took the two triangle sections that he left out and then gathered them into the ponytail while still keeping the parting down the middle intact.

Step 8

Then he finished off the entire look by spraying the hair with Milbon’s Strong Hold Hairspray 10.

Et Voila!
