6 Gorgeous Red-Carpet Ponytail Styles You Should Steal ASAP

Tracee’s Textured Fishtail Braid

For Tracee Ellis Ross’s look at the Screen ActorsGuild Awards Awards, Larry Sims worked with Ross’s natural hair texture to create a loose fishtail braid. Her curly hair gave the look “edginess,” says Sims. “It’s important to leverage my client’s hair texture and style.” Get the look: Use a diffuser to dry hair without disrupting the curl pattern. Gather the hair at the middle back of the head. “I always grab from the cheekbones and lift the hair at a 45 degree angle to accentuate my client’s face,” Sims says. Then do a fishtail braid over the shoulder.
