"Brooke Burke Charvet's look for the "Dancing with the Stars" performance finals was inspired by her dramatic Michael Costello gown," reveals celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Hanousek. "Her pompadour faux hawk with an oblong braided chignon helped balance the strong shoulders and textures of the dress."
How-to:
First, layer Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray and White Sands UnderCover Styling Spray on damp hair.
From the outside corners of the eyes, make two clean parts back to the crown and pin the section out of the way. Then, blow-dry the rest of the hair with a medium round brush to create a smooth finish.
Take the sides of the hair and gather into a ponytail in the back. Fasten with a small rubberband. Clean up fly-always using a fine tooth tail comb and White Sands Infinity Hairspray.
Using a small round brush, blow-dry the top of the hair, concentrating on lifting the roots for volume. Spray a few pumps of Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine Spray all over to smooth and add shine.
With your fingers and the blow-dryer, push the hair up and towards the center to create a pomp. Use a few pumps of the White Sands Infinity Hairspray to hold the shape.
Place crisscross bobby pins down the center of the pomp and roll one side over to conceal, fastening with invisible hairpins. Think loose French twist and look in the mirror and adust the shape that's best for the face. Tip: If it is not too symmetrical, it will look more interesting.
Let the rest of the hair cover the first ponytail. Fasten with a couple pins. Then, gather all the remaining hair and create a single braid.
Twist the braid up, tuck in the ends and fasten with bobby and invisible hair pins. Lock everything in with White Sands Stuck Up Mega Hold Hairspray.
