This sophisticated half up-do, a signature New York Fashion Week hairstyle, perfectly complemented her impeccable style, crafted by legendary TRESemmé Ambassador Orlando Pita.
Building on his iconic sumo-knot-inspired look, Pita designed a chic flat bow hairstyle for a sleek half up-do. This origami-inspired look, with super shiny locks woven into neat, hidden ties, embodies tailored elegance. Here's how to perfect this elegant updo tutorial for a truly stand-out presence.
STEP 1: PREPARE FOR A GLASS-LIKE FINISH
Achieve a glass-like finish by ensuring a moisturized mane. Cleanse with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner for smooth, style-ready locks. Then, apply a small amount of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Shine Serum from mid-lengths to ends—one pump is sufficient—before blow-drying hair straight with a round bristle brush.
STEP 2: PERFECT YOUR SLEEK BASE
Smooth your hair with a flat iron, ensuring any kinks or stray hairs are brushed out first. Spritz TRESemmé Botanique Damage Recovery Oil Elixir for healthy shine without added weight. Create a deep side parting, then comb your hair back for a polished foundation.
STEP 3: CRAFT THE BOW SECTIONS
Take a two-inch section from just above your ear, sweeping it across to the opposite side. Secure it to a small section of your hair with a clear elastic band. Repeat this process on the opposite side to form the base of your bow.
STEP 4: CONCEAL THE BANDS
Tuck the hair bands under the 'bow' on each side to keep them hidden. For a flawless finish, use bobby pins to secure any remaining hair in place, ensuring a sleek and refined look.
STEP 5: SET YOUR STAND-OUT STYLE
Smooth any remaining flyaways with a soft bristle brush, then finish the look with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray for lasting hold and a polished appearance.
And voilà! You’re ready to step out with the crème de la crème of New York’s finest, showcasing your elegant, Anything But Ordinary style.
