Kristen, who shares beauty, fashion and fitness tips, started the video by showing her followers how fine her hair is
Kristen, who shares beauty, fashion and fitness tips, started the video by showing her 415,000 followers how fine her hair is before using Crown Affair’s flexible finishing gel ($42) to pull back the sides around the center section. Iron to ensure it stays put.
The Californian used a Glow Beauty Hairbrush ($26), followed by a Crown Affair Hairbrush ($74) to brush back the sides of her hair and prevent flyaways, once the gel was already in her hair to to secure locks.
The beauty guru then took a hair tie and made a big ponytail with all her hair.
Once the ponytail was done, she took the bottom half of the pony and tied it into its own ponytail, hidden under the original hair tie, which added plenty of volume.
Her followers loved the simple ‘do, comment,’ Ooooo okay, I have to try it! and ‘Your hair is perfect.’
Some people took issue with her fine hair, with one writing: ‘I think we have different ideas about fine’, and another saying: ‘Step 1: have long, perfectly thick hair!’

“Girl, if your hair is fine, mine is…invisible,” one commenter joked.
“As a girl with thin hair, I need to see what it looks like after a few hours,” someone else mused, as it’s possible it could lose volume without teasing or hairspray.
A follower asked: ‘Why are you putting a part in your bangs?’
The center parted ponytail has become a celebrity favorite and is considered part of the clean girl beauty routine.
Hailey Bieber is a fan of the raised updo and her boyfriend Kendall Jenner often rocks one too.
