Ariana Grande is known for her high ponytail, with many wishing she’d switch it up every now and then for a different ‘do! Well, she put a bit of a spin on her signature for the 2016 American Music Awards—accenting the classic style with small cornrows:

To get her trademark, super-sleek look, Appleton prepped Ariana’s hair and smoothed out her tresses with Color Wow Pop & Lock High Gloss Shellac and the brand’s One Minute Transformation Styling Cream. This made her ponytail glossy and shiny for all those red carpet snaps.

And then to give that added flair, Appleton braided smalls cornrows at the crown and wrapped strands around her ponytail’s base.
