Zoe Kravitz has chosen a bold and exciting updo hairstyle that we are just loving! This is a formal hairstyle that shows off your flawless facial features. The nice thing about this style is that it is a great style to keep in mind when your hair is feeling a bit greasy. You are able to put your hair up in a nice pony before you style your hair into a bun. Keep your bangs out of the pony to give your look some depth and to help frame your face at the same time as well. You can apply gel to help keep this look in shape.
This bold look needs to be paired with bold makeup choices. Try doing a sultry smokey eye and a nude lip for a powerful yet feminine look. To do a more toned-down look try doing a warm brown cut crease with a sharp black winged liner. With any look that you do with this hairstyle make sure that you contour and highlight correctly for your face shape as you want to elongate your cheekbones and create a lifted look to truly complement this hairstyle.

Styling Steps
1. Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Smoothing shine will work best on any hair type and style, but is especially good for smoothing down frizzy hair.
2. Use a Paddle Brush
A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.
3. Blow-dry Bangs Forward
When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.
4. Flatten the Top Using Gel
Apply gel to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more gel.
5. Pin the Side Back
Take your section of hair and pull it tightly across to the opposite side and pin it securely into place.
