Tippi Shorter shares how to achieve Alicia Keys & Braided Updo from the Billboard Music Awards


Last year I had the opportunity to interview Tippi Shorter she is behind Alicia Key's flawless hairstyle that she rocked at the Billboard Music Awards and if you want to give this look a try. Tippi shares the step by step directions below...



1. Alicia Keys' hair was shampooed and conditioned with the smoothing collection from HAIR by Tippi Shorter.

2. Ojon Revitalizing Mist was used to detangle and protect the hair from the hot Vegas sun.

3. Her hair was blown smooth using the Brazilian Heat After Dark 1900 watt AC motor dryer.

4. Her hair was gathered in a high ponytail and secured with a bungee band.

5. Control pliable hairdressing wax from HAIR by Tippi Shorter was used to smooth the hair and prevent any flyaways.

6. Using a small amount of Control on her fingertips, she braided Alicia's ponytail, adding in pieces of human hair to make the braid bigger and then wrapped the braid around, crown-like, until she came up with the shape that Alicia "rocked" on the red carpet.

7. Baby bobby pins and finishing spray were used to secure the braid so it wouldn't move.
