‘Gwyneth Paltrow’, ‘hair’ and ‘how-to’. If there are three words guaranteed to grab my attention (aside from Ben and Jerry’s) it’s these.
At this year’s Oscars, Gwyneth Paltrow rocked the hairstyle stakes with a ponytail. Yes, a ponytail. But it wasn’t just any old ponytail. It was sleek and stylish, classic but eloquent. Paltrow perfect, I’ll say.
The oh-so-stylish Paula Joye, from lifestyled.com.au, has dubbed that ponytail ‘The Gwyneth’. And in this video, she shows us exactly how it’s done (thanks Paula)!
If you can’t watch the video, here’s what you need to know:
1. Part the hair to the side and brush back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck.
2. Secure tightly with a hair elastic and apply Serum Drops to seal ends.
3. Wrap a piece of hair around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.
4. Smooth excess serum to the sides of the hair.
And voila!

Gwyneth Paltrow
Who is your celebrity hair crush? Are there any hairstyles you’ve always wanted to try but just cannot get right?

Haha maybe leave the beauty tutorials to Zoey Foster?!!!

Boring tutorial and style nothing like Gwyneths, sorry.

Did I just watch a pony tail tutorial…? And it doesn’t look like Gwyneth’s either!

Lol! I was ‘racheled’ too! Although I quite liked it. On the subject I think Jen Aniston and Penelope Cruz have THE best hair….I wish….

Ummm… It’s a ponytail.
At 3:01 “… apply Serum Drops to “seel” the ends” ??? Ack!

its a ponytail. Ive been rocking that look since i was 5

I think this style is boring, it’s just a pony tail! Personally, I haven’t worn one since high school and I don’t intend to again!

I agree

It’s a freaking PONYTAIL mate!

It would be impossible for me to have Gwynneth hair, and I’m happy about it. She’s always had bad hair.

Paula looks lovely, but this style is nothing like Gwyneth’s!

I must say I really didn’t like this hair on Gwynnie. Usually she never gets it wrong, but I think she did. Would have look so much classier in a low, chic bun. Great hair style for day but definitely not oscar worthy!

Stunning!

It doesn’t look anything like the ponytail Gwyneth has. Nice, but pretty different.
loading...
First world problem!

Such a boring look that only suits certain face types!!
loading...
Only good for straight (or straightened) hair.

Helpful video but… the ponytail hairstyle that Gwyneth is wearing is quite different to the video.

I was once racheled by a hairdresser, but I am ok now!

Ha! Weren’t we all?
