Cutler set the trend once again at the Donna Karan Resort show that took place on Friday, June 4th, 2010. The sexy, sleek ponytail was a glam accessory for the after-dark fashions that Donna Karan showcased on the runway. Didier Malige for Cutler, who created the look for the show, shares tips with us on how to recreate this sleek pony.

How to get a sleek pony:

1: Spray dry hair with Cutler Volumizing Spray, as well as Cutler Protectant Treatment Spray to add a base to the hair. Using a Mason Pearson brush and a blow dryer, manipulate the product into the hair for added texture and volume

2: Creating a side part on the right side of the head, take 1” from the front section and tuck it behind the ear. Flat iron hair section by section

3: Take the top section, starting from the side part to the top of the crown, and pin it away, making sure the clip doesn’t kink the hair

4: Gather a ponytail at the crown of the head, and secure with a bungee elastic. Lightly spritz with Redken Workforce 09 Flexible Volumizing Spray

5: Connect the top section with the ponytail so it goes clockwise around the bungee elastic, and secure with french pins

TRESemmé created three chic looks for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2010 in NYC.

The Show: Whitney Eve. The Hairstyle: Fun and Flirty Textured Pony.

Hair Tutorial: How to get this hairdo: To coincide with the laid-back, fun-loving feel of the Whitney Eve collection, TRESemmé created a girly, textured pony. Using the right products, this playful look is easy to achieve at home:

1. Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to damp hair, and blow dry upside down using a round brush.

2. Spray hair with TRESemmé Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray, and lightly curl with a 1” curling iron for texture.

3. Gently tease the top of the head towards the front of the hairline for volume.  Using fingers, pull hair back into a ponytail towards the crown, and fasten with an elastic.

4. Create texture throughout the ponytail using hands, and finish with TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray.

The Show: Mara Hoffman. The Hairstyle: Elegant Beach-Textured Bun

Hair Tutorial: Mara Hoffman’s Bohemian-inspired collection was full of tribal prints, draping and flowing silhouettes. To create a modern take on the loose bun with an elegant and refined feel, TRESemmé designed a voluminous and textured style. Follow these quick steps to achieve this carefree look:

1. Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to wet hair from roots to ends. Power dry with a blow dryer, using fingers.

2. Curl small sections of hair with a 1” curling iron. Gently brush out the curls to produce a softer look. Slightly tease the crown with a fine-toothed comb for additional volume.

3. Apply TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Secret Smoothing Crème to the sides of the head. Using fingers, pull hair back while keeping the sides smooth, and twist into a loose bun at the nape. Fasten with an elastic.

4. Pull out a few pieces for a soft, undone look. Finish with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray.

The Show: Tracy Reese. The Hairstyle: High-Fashion Pompadour

Hair Tutorial: The Tracy Reese collection was inspired by layering sheer fabrics, bold prints and colors. To complete this flirty, feminine look, TRESemmé demonstrated layers in the hair by creating a pompadour with a casual bun. The height at the crown added glamour to the messy bun, while the slicked-back sides gave the look structure. Follow these steps to achieve this laid-back sophisticated style:

1. Distribute TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse all over hair, and blow dry with fingers.

2. Tease the crown with a fine-toothed comb, leaving 1” of hair from the front of the hairline to comb over the teased section. Gently secure the entire top section at the base of the crown without losing volume.

3. Apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray to the remaining hair, and set with a curling iron, creating waves.

4. Take a diagonal section from the ears to the base of the crown, securing on top of the base of the teased section – creating a layered effect.

5. Twist remaining length of hair into a loose bun above the nape, securing with hairpins leaving the ends out.  Finish with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray.

TRESemmé products are available at food, drug and mass market retailers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $4.49.

The Hairstyle: Braided & Textured Pony

Hair Tutorial:

1. Create the Braid – Make a part, starting from behind the left ear to the right ear. Then, create a deep right-side part leaving out the lesser hair. Gather the front section of hair and tease the root to create texture and volume. IT&LY Hairfashion Purity Design Pure Texture Volumizing Spray at the root area for hold. Braid the hair on the scalp from right to left all the way to the end.

2. Make a Pony – Brush the rest of the hair into a high pony above the ears and secure with a holder. Apply H2pro Silk 1 Minute Thermal Hair Treatment on the pony and divide into small sections. Curl into spiralsand apply a light shine serum to your hands and separate spirals. Then, spray with a texturizing mist for added texture and a bit of roughness.

3. Shape the Pony – Take the end of the braid and pin it to the part on the scalp. Then take a bobby pin with the open end, swoop into the curled pony, lift and pin to scalp. This creates a bit of lift and added structure, repeat until you’re happy with the shape. Utilize a light wax spray for shine and texture and finish with White Sands Infinity Finishing Spray for lasting hold.
