Perfect the Ponytail

August 18, 2009

ponytailPeople with shoulder length to longer hair can always rely on pulling their hair up in a ponytail for a quick fix when they have run out of hairstyle ideas. 

A ponytail is the perfect hairstyle for someone who needs to run somewhere fast.  It is a quick, easy hairstyle that can still look presentable by pulling the hair off the face for a clean appearance.  To perfect the ponytail there are certain steps that need to be followed to give a clean finish.

Keep the Hair Clean

A good ponytail must start with clean, freshly shampooed hair.  Hair that is too oily will cause the ponytail to slip from the rubber band.  Hair that is dry or split at the ends needs to be conditioned so that the hair lies evenly.

After washing the hair with the appropriate shampoo and conditioner if necessary, just towel dry the hair.  Add some gel to the dried hair to keep loose hair in place and add a shine to the hair.

Form a Ponytail

Get the ponytail started by flipping the hair upside-down and brushing the hair forward.  Start with the hair in the back and underneath of the head.

Work your way up to gathering the hair on the top of the head with the hair that has already been gathered from the back.  Secure it with a rubber band or stylish holder.

Securing a Ponytail

Most people tend to use elastic bands to secure their ponytail.  If you choose to use one make  sure that the rubber band is not a standard office rubber band.

It should be coated so that the hair is not pulled.  The ponytail can be secured high atop the head, in the middle of the head or down near the nape of the neck depending on the look you want to achieve.  Once secured, comb it out and add some gel to keep the hairs in place.

Spice Up the Ponytail

A ponytail does not have to be uninteresting.  There are many hair accessories that can be added to spice it up.  Try using scrunches or ribbons to add some color.
