Drew Barrymore Pulls It Together

Like many children of the 80s, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Drew Barrymore. Although she struggled with addiction early on in life and her film career was kinda spotty in the early 90s (Poison Ivy, anyone? The Amy Fisher Story?), she’s had an amazing rebound and has now established herself as a perennial member of Hollywood’s A-list. She even directs! And she always looks adorable on the red carpet. But with this 60s-inspired sleek ponytail, Drew looks more than cute - she looks stunning! And it’s easy to get the look yourself with your Chi straightener.

I firmly believe that Chi makes the best flat irons. They’re built to last, easy to use and won’t damage your hair. If you want to copy this sexy yet easy style, start by straightening your hair all over, after dividing into 1″ sections. Then tease your hair a little at the crown to add volume and pull it back into a high ponytail. (Note: If you wrap a piece of your hair around the rubber band and pin it in place with a bobby pin, you’ll have a much more sophisticated look than you would if you leave the band exposed!) For the piece de resistance, run your flat iron through the ponytail itself (in sections, again, if you have a lot of hair like Drew!) and flip upwards when you get to the ends. This will give it that kicky little curl and make it look ultra-mod. Most of all, remember to take a cue from Drew and have fun with it!
