Paul edmonds styles abbey clancy for fashion for the brave

Paul Edmonds recently styled Abbey Clancy' hair, as the WAG took a break from her Strictly Come Dancing training schedule to attend the Fashion for the Brave fundraising event. Paul and his team didn't just give Abbey a red carpet worthy look - they also styled hair for the evening's catwalk show, which was hosted to raise money for military charities. Here, Paul tells us how he created Abbey's elegant low ponytail.

Prep is key for a look like this, so using a smoothing balm I blow-dried Abbey's hair straight. Once dry, I worked a finishing balm over the hair to add polish and ensure there were no flyaway hairs. Once the hair was smooth and straight, I gathered it into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck and tied with an elastic band to match her hair colour. To add hold, I then used a fine mist of light hairspray to make sure the hair stayed put. Then, taking a narrow section of her hair, I wrapped around the base to hide the elastic band and secured in place with grips. Once in place I finished with more hairspray. My three must have products for this look were Kérastase Forme Fatale to add styling support when blow-drying,  Shu Uemura Sheer Lacquer to hold the style and Shu Uemura Touch of Gloss Melt in Wax to smooth and add a high gloss finish."
