Want to look trendy with just ponytails? I have read this article from Marie Claire website on how to do stylish ponytails with ease. Tips were suggested by Robert Maiolo, of Maiolo Copeland salon, Sydney.
High Pony
The high ponytail is as simple as it is glossy.
- Blow-dry your hair smooth with a straightening milk or balm.
- Brush your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a hair band.
- Take a small section from the ponytail and wrap it around the band and tuck the end into the hair band underneath the pony tail.
- Spray the wrapped hair with a hairspray, to secure and finish with a spritz of hairspray all over.
- If you have fine hair or you would like to add volume or length, attach hair extensions.
To the Side
The key to this look is creating a soft texture in the hair before tying it to the side.
- If you have a fringe hair, blow-dry it smooth first.
- Create volume and texture in the rest of your hair by spraying at the roots.
- Then tip your head upside down and blast it with the blow-dryer until completely dry.
- Using a comb, backcomb your hair through the back and crown.
- With your fingers, style your hair into a ponytail in line with your ear on your favourite side.
- Then, with the pointed end of a tail comb, pull sections at the back upward to create height.
- Finish with hairspray.
Low and Loose
Hair accessories are a fantastic way to instantly dress up your hair, and with this loose style it's all about relaxed glamour.
- Blow-dry your strands smooth and set in hot rollers, or tong into ringlets.
- Once your hair has cooled completely, brush out curls.
- Run a small amount of a curl-taming product through the mid-lengths and ends.
- The hair clip is the main focus in this style, so treat yourself to a beautiful hair clip or a vintage brooch.
- Clip hair into a loose ponytail and don't worry if some pieces fall out as this will soften the look even more.
