Using all TRESemmé products, Redway created “The Satin Ponytail,” inspired by the LaQuan Smith FW23 collection.“LaQuan has a lot of beautiful fabrics and silhouettes in his collection. I drew inspiration from the materials by noticing how the sequin and satin reflected and bounced off the light. I wanted the same feelings for the hair – shiny and reflective.” Redway also took a moment to share which TRESemmé product was her hero product for this season. ” There are so many hair textures this season, so my hero product is the One-step Blowout Balm. No matter the texture of the hair, keeping the hair hydrated is very important, and the One-step balm is an excellent hydrating product for all different textures of hair.”
See below for a step-by-step breakdown of how to achieve this look.
STEP 1: Begin by working TRESemmé One Step Blowout Balm into damp hair from roots to ends to smooth, protect against heat, reduce frizz, and boost shine. Rough-dry product into hair with a flat paddle brush.
STEP 2: Once hair is completely dry, part out a large section of hair using the arch of the eyebrows as a guide on the width and parting back to the crown of the head for length. Clip this section of hair away.

STEP 3: Gather the remaining hair into a low ponytail positioned at the nape, using TRESemmé Mega Control Gel to seal the look and give long-lasting shine. Secure in place with an elastic.
STEP 4: Release the top section and apply TRESemmé Mega Control Gel with a wide-tooth comb to create height and a raked effort. Use a second elastic to secure this section of hair into the ponytail.
STEP 5: Apply TRESemmé Mega Control Gel to the hair shaft to impart extra hold, laying along the spine or middle of the neck for shorter hair lengths.
STEP 6: To complete the look and add a satin finish, apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to the top of the head and the ponytail.
