Hairstylist Alex Polillo suggests starting with clean, just-washed hair. Using a diffuser, roughly dry strands and prep hair for a deep side-part with a fine comb and shaping spray gel. After creating a comfortable, fly-away free part, brush hair back and into a pony. Using curling tongs, add waves and spray hair with hairspray. To complete the look, take a small strand from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic, pinning to secure.

Saldana?s hairstylist Mara Roszak began by adding mousse to the star?s damp hair, then rough-dried it to remove most of the moisture. "I created the perfect wavy texture by loosely braiding sections and allowed them to air-dry," she says. A light mist of volumizing spray broke up the waves and added extra movement. Roszak then teased the hair at the crown and swept back sections from both sides of Saldana?s face, overlapping them in the back with bobby pins until a ponytail shape was formed. "Allow pieces around the face to naturally fall out. It gives the style a soft, feminine look," she says.

"Roll the ends of hair into pin curls, let them sit for five minutes, then unroll and gently brush them out," says Roszak. Pull hair into a mid-height ponytail and secure with an elastic, leaving out a strand to wrap around the elastic to cover it, securing with a bobby pin.

Spritz roots with a dry shampoo. Use a fine-tooth comb to slightly tease your hair at the crown, then sweep a section of hair over it to hide the backcombing. Leaving two face-framing tendrils out, pull the rest of your strands into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic. To finish, wrap a loose section of hair around the fastener to create a seamless effect.
Hairstylist Jill Crosby built volume with a T3 Featherweight Luxe hair dryer and round brush. "The dryer gave her a lot of fullness at the root, which is important to the overall look," she says, adding that’s why the ponytail is slick, but not lifeless or flat. She then straightened the hair to the end, leaving out the sections closest to the scalp. "I tied the ponytail off-center just enough so it would fall around her shoulder."
