Eva Longoria's Tips for Achieving an Extra-Long Braid

The actress took inspiration from Sofia Richie, who taught her via TikTok how to create a perfectly smooth hairstyle, reminiscent of a fairytale heroine's length.
Even celebrities sometimes seek inspiration on TikTok. Here's proof with Eva Longoria, who posted behind-the-scenes footage of a hairstyling session on her Instagram account. We see her in the process of creating an extra-long braid in the style of Rapunzel, with her hairstylist.
To achieve it, the actress and producer naturally uses a hairpiece. However, what's interesting is to see how the former Desperate Housewives star prepares her hair beforehand. Indeed, she creates a high ponytail with perfectly sleeked hair.
Her trick? Creating two pigtails with the strands from the first half of the head to separate them from the main ponytail, before smoothing them down using a product like serum. It's a method she seemingly learned from Sofia Richie's TikTok. "Thank you, Sofia Richie, for teaching us all with your TikTok how to create this sleek (meaning smooth and shiny) ponytail!"
The actress then only needs to attach the hairpiece to the base of the ponytail before braiding it all together. It's an easy tutorial, even though, unlike Eva Longoria, having a hairstylist for assistance isn't necessarily part of the plan.
