All sorts of crazy hairstyles appear at the Paris haute couture shows, but the avant garde ponytails at Alexis Mabille really outshone all of the others. This elaborate twisted pony loops over itself to fall forward, with an embellishment dangling off the end. It might not be the most practical everyday style, but it’s certainly inspiring us to try some sleek, high ponytails. Click through for our everyday interpretation of the look.
Step: Towel dry hair to damp and apply defrizz serum.
Step: Use a long bristle brush to blowdry hair smooth in manageable sections.

Step: Wrap the thin strand of hair around the ponytail until you reach the end, then pin in place.
Step: Apply shine spray to finish off the sleek look.
