CeleBeauty Watch: Get Ciara’s ‘Messy’ Ponytail Look From the 2016 AMAs

Ciara definitely had that pregnancy glow on the red carpt at the 2016 AMAs. Wearing a black high-low Stephane Rolland gown, lined in white, Ciara cradled her growing baby bump while looking every bit the happy newlywed and soon-to-be mom (again).

Her understated makeup let her hair do the talking, and we have the look from Celebrity Hairstylist, Cesar Ramirez.

INSPIRATION: “For Ciara’s look tonight, I wanted to do something that would complement her beautiful dress. My vision was a long messy ponytail with a 70’s-inspired fringe.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “To start, I applied Mizani’s Thermasmooth System and blew out Ciara’s hair smooth with my ghd Air Hairdryer. I then center parted her fringe area and sectioned out hair around her face.  For the ponytail, I sectioned her hair intotwo parts—front and back. Using the ghd Paddle Brush, I brushed back and secured the back section into a ponytail to create a base right at the center back of her head.  I then attached a Faux Cesar-Do Pony tail which I custom colored to blend with her beautiful blonde color. To hide and blend the faux ponytail, I incorporated the remainder of her hair into the ponytail creating one big sexy messy pony.

“I cut her fringe to really frame her face and give her a nice, sexy 70’s- inspired bangs. For an incredibly shiny finish and to nixflyaways, I used the ghd Platinum Styler on the ponytail and on the fringe. Finally, I sprayed Mizani HRM Anti-Humidity Hairspray to set the look.”
