The Ponytail

To me this is one of the most underrated hairstyles. Bring this look out on a bad hair day, a rainy day or any day and you could turn heads. It gives the opportunity to dress a certain part and show a hidden character. it frames the face perfectly, allowing you to show off your make up, jewelry and neckline. it can be used to hide the skin on your back or open up your back to show the details of your outfit without having to keep your hair completely up. A pony tail can be done to create a fun side, a sexy side, it can be formal or athletic. The image that a simple ponytail can portray is entirely up to the creator. Here are some everyday looks that you can try.

If you have curls or waves in your hair, use a round brush and blow dry your hair until it is almost straight, if you already have straight hair toss your hair upside down and blow dry your hair upside down to add in some volume. Comb your hair into a high ponytail with a fine tooth hair comb then tie it with your hairband. Take an inch of your hair from your pony tail and wrap it around the hairband,clip it in with a bobby pin and finish it off by rubbing silicone on the top of the head down to the tips of the pony to remove any frizz. if you have very curly hair you may use a little hair gel on the top to keep it perfectly neat.

Blow dry or iron your hair so that it is very straight, comb your hair using a fine tooth comb and tie hair into a pony on the back of your head. Use hair gel or a soft wax to keep the top looking smooth.

Set your hair in waves using  velcro rollers. Comb your hair into a high ponytail using a hair band, Add a little anti frizz spray to smooth out the hair. Take an inch of hair from your ponytail, twist it around the hair band and finally use a hairspray to hold into place.

Tease the top of your hair until it has a little more height, leave two inches in the front of your hair out, using your round brush softly comb your hair into a low ponytail. take some curling mousse and scrunch it in the back of your pony tail, do the same for the front pieces.

If you are attending an evening function simple adjustments to the everyday ponytail can be a winner.
