Getting a last minute invite to a holiday party means quickly finding something chic to wear and an instant updo.  But how?  Well for this holiday season, have the following two P2 by Philip Pelusi products on hand and you can pull off the red carpet look of 2019, the Party Ponytail in any of its variations.  P2 Honey and P2 Fluid Spray are the keys to creating these festive looks.

The Top Braid Party Ponytail:  This look is probably the most complex of the three.  For any Party Ponytail, start with late day or second day hair.  Super clean hair is much harder to work with.  First scoop a nickel size amount of P2 Honey and work it through your hands and fingertips to spread out the product, then work it from root to end sparingly throughout your hair.  Section off the “mohawk” area on the top of your hair from temple to temple.  Create a French braid along the top of your head into a small hairband at your crown.  Next gather the rest of your hair up into a ponytail including the French braid hairband and tie together into a larger hairband.  Disguise the band with a decorative ribbon or some hair from the larger ponytail and pinned into place under the pony.  Next lightly spray P2 Fluid Spray all over the hair, using fingertips to smooth flyaways and then scrunching the ponytail to a larger volume.

The Sleek Party Ponytail:  For this party pony follow the same directions as above using the P2 Honey but skip the braid and grab a paddle brush.  Start to neatly brush and sweep all hair up towards your crown and into a large hairband forming a big ponytail such as worn here by Hailey Bieber.  Next grab your P2 Fluid Spray.  Starting at one ear working around the head, lightly misting P2 Fluid followed by brushing over the hair further smoothing it up into the hairband.  This helps create a super sleek look.  Once you have worked your way around your head, dress up this look by wrapping a big velvet ribbon around the base covering the hairband just like Hailey!

The Messy Party Ponytail:  This is the easiest of the party ponies.  Follow the same directions as above using the P2 Honey and grab a wide tooth comb.  Lightly tease your entire head.  Your hair will look wild and messy but no worries.  Next, mist the entire head lightly with your P2 Fluid then lightly gather your hair into a messy high ponytail at your crown.  This look is not supposed to be neat so don’t smooth it down.  Finally, take a piece of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around to hide the hairband and pin it into place underneath.  Again, lightly mist P2 Fluid all over the hair and ponytail, finessing the hair with your fingertips and scrunching the ponytail into an even fuller wilder look.
