Transcript

I believe there are three steps to a perfect holiday slick back. One amazing product. I'm so excited to be partnering with Kerastase on this video using their eight hour magic serum, which I use in my slick bad, and I also put in my hair before bed. And it literally leaves your hair so silky, and it protects your hair against pillow friction. So step one, the Cara Sauce eight Hour Magic Serum. Step two, a really straight side part. And then step three, a really good brush.
