Sanjaya's Pony-Hawk secrets....

1. On Sanjaya, I created what I called the “pony hawk.” I began in the top fringe area and secured it with a black rubber band.

2. I continued this process by pulling up the sides and securing them in the middle with a total of 7 ponytails.

3. After the ponytails were secured, I backcombed the area to add height and control of the ponytails. This helped hold the hair in place so they would not fall to either side.

4. For additional hold, I used small snap barrettes to hold the ends of the ponytails together, making sure to hide them by backcombing them into the style.

5. Before he was camera-ready I made sure to used Joico’s ICE finisher hairspray to control his frizz and baby hairs around his face. I also used the spray to really lock in the ponytails so they would not fall to either side.
