How to Recreate Zendaya’s Forever-Long Braided Ponytail

04/11/2024

Channeling real-life tennis greats, like Anna Kournikova, Zendaya showed up to the UK world premiere of “Challengers” with her hair slicked back in a super-long braided ponytail of her own. Again working with celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen, the pair elevated the look with an oversized bow by Lelet NY.

Coquette is here to stay — for another season at least! Scroll for a breakdown of Zendaya’s braid directly from Stephen.

Get the Look:

  1. “First, we started with clean, damp hair, and took a quarter-sized dollop of the SexyHair Style Hard Up Hard Holding Gel. We added that through the hair, hairline, and nape area to make sure the hair lasts all night. 
  2. We then combed the hair into a ponytail, securing it with a hair tie.
  3. Next, we attached The Hair Shop Wrap Ponytail extension and wrapped the 26” clip-in extensions around the hair to customize and lengthen the look.
  4. To hold everything in place, we used the SexyHair Big Spray & Stay Hairspray.
  5. Lastly, we braided the ponytail, securing it with a tiny invisible elastic.”
