Ariana Grande – High Ponytail/Straight Across Bangs

Celebrity Hairstylist: Aaron Light

Event: MTV Video Music Awards

GRAMMY award-winning singer Ariana Grande attended the MTV Video Music Awards with her iconic ponytail and bangs styled by celebrity hairstylist Aaron Light who shared how he created the look.

Apply a small amount of Matrix Style Link Blow Out Big Queen to damp hair.

Blow dry bangs with a 1-inch round brush and then place them in a 1-inch roller.

Blow dry the rest of the hair, so it is silky and smooth.

Brush hair into a high ponytail on the top of the head and secure with a hook-bungee. This will create a tight ponytail with no slippage. For thick hair, use two bungees.

Spread a dime-size amount of Matrix Style Link Shape Switcher onto fingertips and brush hands backward from the hairline to the ponytail to smooth any bumps and secure flyaways. Repeat with a barbering brush for extra smoothness.

Wrap a small piece of hair around the bungee and secure with a bobby pin.

Spray ponytail with Matrix Style Link Mineral Rough Me Up Salt Infused Spray for texture.

Remove the roller from the bangs and smooth as desired.

Crimp a few random pieces from the ponytail from top to bottom using a crimping iron.

Dust fingertips with Matrix Style Link Mineral Booster Texture Booster and lightly run through sections before crimping for extra texture and volume.
