How to ask your stylist for this style
For color, ask for an "Ink Black with a 'Glass Hair' glossing treatment." For the style, ask for a "flawless, sleek, high wrapped ponytail."
Tools:
Choosing Products
A strong-hold gel; a high-shine hair serum; a fine-toothed comb; a boar bristle brush for smoothness.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
The "glass hair" effect comes from a pro gloss.
At home, apply a strong-hold gel to damp hair, brush it up into a high ponytail, and wrap a piece of hair around the base.
Caring for your hair
A high-impact "set style" that will last for a full day/night.
The color is low-maintenance, requiring only a gloss to maintain the extreme shine.

How do you get a ponytail with no bumps?
The trick is to brush the hair into position while your head is tilted back slightly. Using a fine-toothed comb and a strong-hold hair gel is also essential.
