  2. Rough-dry hair until it is about 50 percent dry using the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer Professional edition on the second intensity for both heat and speed with the smoothing nozzle attached.

  4. Use the small Dyson round brush to straighten the natural wavy texture in the hair, directing all hair backward and away from the face.

Get the Look:

  1. On damp hair, use PHYTOVOLUME Volumizing Blow-Dry Spray on the roots to mids, and PHYTO 7 on the ends.
  2. Apply PHYTODEFRISANT Anti-Frizz Blow-Dry Balm all over hair, combing through to distribute evenly before beginning the blow-out. 
  3. Start blow-drying in the nape and work toward the face, over-directing everything behind the shoulders.
  4. Create a clean center part.
  5. Use a dollop of PHYTO Glossing Cream to hold down frizz and add a brilliant finish to the hair.
  6. To achieve the chignon, gather the hair to right below the nape, combing PHYTO Glossing Cream through as it's gathered, then secure with a bungee elastic.
  7. Split the ponytail in half and twist it into a rope braid, securing the ends with another elastic.
  8. To finish, twist the rope braid around itself tightly until a little chignon is formed. Then, pin into place.

  3. Use the Hidden Crown Seamless Clip-in extensions, applying the first track of extensions into the hair right at the nape of the neck, and then work upward toward the crown (five tracks of extensions spaced out 1/2-inch apart were used for DeBose's style).
  4. Keep a thin layer of hair at the crown to cover the last track of extensions.
  5. Create a low, curved side part on the right side.
  6. Gather hair in a low ponytail with a brush, adding a bit of hairspray for hold and shine, and tie it off with an elastic band.
  7. For extra volume, add the Hidden Crown Bungee ponytail by placing it over the existing ponytail and hooking in one side of the elastic band first, and then pull it tight with the other one to keep it secure.
  8. To create a seamless-looking result, wrap a thin section of hair around the base of the ponytail.
  9. Run the T3 Lucea ID straightening iron over the ponytail for silky shine and a frizz-free texture.
