Easy ways to pretty up your ponytail
January 27, 2012 | No Comment

Here’s a scenario you’ve probably encountered at least once recently: you’re rushing to get ready, your hair won’t cooperate, and you end up throwing it in a ponytail just to get it out of the way. Sound familiar? There’s a better way! Instead of settling for an average I-just-came-from-the-gym ponytail, use one or more of these easy tricks to pretty up your pony.

Use a fancy holder. Swap a basic elastic for one with some kind of ornamentation: decorative ponytail holders can feature everything from silk flowers to metal work to faux jewels. It’s a way to have a little fun with a pony, even if it’s of the most basic variety.

Wrap it. After you pull your hair into a pony, separate a small section of hair from the underside of the tail. Wrap it around the base of the tail so the elastic is fully hidden and secure underneath with a bobby pin; the mini variety are perfect. Secure with a spritz of light-hold hairspray.

Switch it up. Sometimes creating a new look is as simple as changing your part. If you always wear your hair brushed straight back into a pony, add a side part. If you like high ponys, try a low style. Or pull your hair over one shoulder in a side pony, like celeb cutie Taylor Swift sometimes does.

Go dramatic. This is perfect for very straight hair or for second-day hair that’s been flat-ironed sleek. Make a deep side part instead of pulling your hair straight back; finish with glossing spray.

Add texture. Tease the tail for fullness, or add a couple of small side braids for interest before securing the pony.

Curl up. You can use a large-barrel curling iron to create a few large spirals in your pony, which makes it instantly bouncier and more interesting than a basic straight ponytail.

Add volume. Take a cue from stars like Kate Beckinsale and add volume to your ponytail. Tease the front for extra height and fullness, then brush the sides back so they’re smooth and sleek. Secure the elastic high on your head above the ears is perfect and finish with light-hold hairspray to keep the volume.
