"HARMONIE KRIEGER: So, of course, an up-do is essential for the red carpet makeover. Now, I chose a side ponytail. I just thought it was fun and young, and different. And for Patricia, we're going to show how to do a sleek ponytail with a little bit of jewels on the side. And I'm going to show you how to do that. This is a very, very popular look, especially for the red carpet. Ponytails are wonderful. They accent your face and your eyes, and the attention is drawn on that instead of everything else. So, we are going to show you a very sleek ponytail. So, what you're going to do is you're going to comb the sides and we're going to part it in the middle. You can actually put your bangs whatever direction you want. And you know what I like about ponytails? You can put them--you can tie them back loosely and they still look very elegant. So, we are going to put her hair back. And especially if you wear jewelry, this is a great look because we want the attention drawn to the diamonds. So, we are going to put her hair in a ponytail like so, and she has beautiful, thick hair so we can make a big ponytail, and we're going to spray it so it stays in. Always have hair spray for the red carpet because you never know when a hair flies out, just very lightly, and to give it some body. And then we're going to take a diamond bobby clip, okay? And we are going to put that on the side and I want it to be visible, so you can see the diamonds. Okay, so let's put that in, and then turn. And so, you can put it above the ear, below the ear, whatever works for you, just make sure you hide the bobby pin part and you only have the diamonds showing. And then, to finish it off, you're going to just take some balm right here, and this is [PH] Baghead, which is so great. And you're just going to tape away the flyaways, because we all know when it's hot out and you're down the red carpet or it's windy, your hair can fly out of place. So, it's just a pretty side lock and now she looks beautiful. Let's see. Gorgeous! And now, she's ready for the jewels."
