You can call us teeny-boppers if you like but we’re big fans of Taylor Swift. She’s a good role model for the young ‘uns, writes a mean ballad, and shares our love for all things shiny! But although we love that she embraces her natural curls, girl could stand to change up her look once in a while. We were excited to see that she did just that at the American Music Awards last night and opted for a sleek, shiny, and — most importantly — straight side-pony. 

We don’t have the inside scoop on her hairstylist but we do know you can get an equally chic pony with a few drops of Kerastase Elixir Ultime. Use a few drops on ends before heat styling and smooth flyaways for a sleek finish.
