Nicole Richie's Modernized Sleek Pony at the 2012 Golden Globes

The verdicts are in. Nicole Richie hit the ball out of the park with her Modernized Sleek Pony hair style, created with the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion System! If you'd like to recreate it, I've got the scoop on the steps from my friends at Suave Beauty.

Sleek, smooth styles are all the rage. Nicole Richie worked it, thanks to the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion System. To copy the look quickly, spray Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo directly at the root, crown, and front of your hair to add volume. Use your dryer to work in excess product and brush it through to refresh your hair before styling.

1. Pull up and section off the hair around the crown, then tease (back comb) to create volume.
   
2. Use a brush to smooth-out the hair on the sides and back. Pull the back section of hair into a ponytail, securing it with an elastic.
3. Take a side section and wrap it around the ponytail, securing the hair with a bobby pin.
   
4. Take the opposite side and also wrap it around the pony, securing with a bobby pin.
   
5. Last, take the teased crown section and lightly smooth and brush it back over the ponytail.
6. Work a dime-sized amount of Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum into the palms of your hands, then delicately smooth the ponytail strands and eliminate flyaways.

Easy, right? Anyone with long hair can have Nicole's dynamite look. Keep up with Suave at Facebook, where you can find the insider tips and exclusive giveaways - along with a short film by Nicole.
