today we’re going to show you how to create the PERFECT VOLUMINOUS PONYTAIL. whether you’re looking for a way to refresh your style for the office or need a simple and elegant style for a gala, this BIG PONYTAIL is perfect.
we’re going to start this blog off with giving you 2 VITAL SECRETS to good styling:
as you may have guessed from our secrets, BACKCOMBING is the first step in creating the perfect ponytail.
keep in mind that the key to good backcombing is making sure that the sections are all the same size. you want to hold each section with the same tension and start the backcombing on the same part of the strand EVERY time.
also, use the same number of “strokes” for each section. if you start about 3 inches from the root, then you’re always going to start about 3 inches from the root. if you don’t, the body in your hair will likely look lumpy and uneven.
as you complete each section, you’ll want to set the backcombing in with ‘fix’ HAIR SPRAY. once you’ve traveled across the top section of your head (also known as the VEIL), you’re going to take that section as a whole and set it aside.
NEXT, we’re going to tie up the FIRST ponytail. you’re going to do this by gathering all the hair on the crown of the head for the ponytail and use your FIRST HAIR TIE to tie it up (leave a perimeter of hair all around the outside edges). this is the base of your VOLUMINOUS PONYTAIL, so make sure to have it where you want your ponytail to sit. if you want a high pony, have this inner section sit high on the head.
then you’ll take the REST OF THE HAIR and wrap it around the first ponytail, and tie it with your SECOND HAIR TIE.
with the SECOND PONYTAIL in place, you can begin to loosen the front and shape your ponytail as you see fit. the first ponytail helps keep the structure of your hair as you create the style.
and now you have the PERFECT VOLUMINOUS PONYTAIL.
