I have been getting so many requests on some quick and easy styles to do yourself for an event. A very simple and often overlooked style is the PONYTAIL. Ponytails have been really making a big comeback on the Red Carpet, and on several of my brides this coming season. Who would thought the way you normally throw you hair up to go to the gym could actually be an elegant style??? Well it can with the right tools and techniques.
Let’s break it down … This is how to ‘Pony’
Step 1: Apply a bit of product to your hands to control frizz and flyaway hairs (a pomade will do just fine)
Step 2: Keep your hand in the same place on the back of your head and comb all hair backwards to meet that hand. DONT MOVE YOUR HAND !
Step 3: Secure with a hair band
Step 4: Next…Now this is where you can add something fun, a bright string or ribbon to match your dress…Dab some pomade on your fingertips, take a small piece of hair and wrap it around the elastic to hide the band. Then secure the piece of hair with a pin…and voila! You have a neat and simple pony!
Now that you can pony…here are the types of ponys you can create:
High pony
Mid pony
Low pony
Now if you want to get WiLD and KraZy (yes with a K)
then you can change it up; add a side part, center part, or do a side pony.
Happy Ponying! please send some pics of your best and favorite ponytails 🙂
