STYLING THE PERFECT PONYTAIL
As simple and uncomplicated as this hairstyle seems, it is also very versatile. Therefore, there is no such thing as THE perfect ponytail. It is much more important to decide what kind of look you want to create.
PONYTAIL HAIRSTYLE IN SLEEK LOOK
To style a sleek ponytail, straighten your hair before tying the ponytail. Now rub a pea-sized amount of hair gel in your hands and use it to secure your hair to your head. You can easily shape your hair into a ponytail. Then secure everything with a ponytail holder.
HIGH PONYTAIL
A high ponytail looks sporty, slims the face and draws attention to the neck. It is also ideal if you want to wear large earrings, as this will reveal them. To do this, first shake your hair at the nape of your neck. Then comb it together with a brush. Styling a well-fitting, high ponytail is easiest if you use a ponytail holder that is as thick as possible, or even two.
WRAPPED PONYTAIL
A wrapped ponytail looks elegant and is therefore perfect for special occasions. To do this, first separate a strand and tie the rest into a medium-high braid at the back of the head. Then wrap the separated strand tightly around the base of the braid until the hair tie is no longer visible. Pin the end of the strand below the braid holder at the back of the head. To ensure that the strand holds particularly well, you can also spray it with hairspray. For an additional glamour factor, you can lightly tease your hair at the back of the head before tying it into a braid.
CASUAL PONYTAIL
A casual ponytail exudes naturalness and looks wonderfully uncomplicated. The perfect casual ponytail looks a little messy, so you shouldn't tie it too neatly. The look is particularly beautiful if you create beach waves in your hair beforehand. After you've tied the ponytail, you can pluck individual strands out of your hair.
BUBBLE BRAID
The bubble braid is an extravagant interpretation of a ponytail. However, it only works with longer hair. To do this, first section off a section of hair and wrap it with a ponytail holder. A few centimeters further down, section off the next section and tie the first braid and the second section of hair together. Pull the hair slightly apart between the hair ties to create additional volume. Continue this way until you reach the ends.
PONYTAIL HAIRSTYLE: TIPS AND TRICKS
WITH OR WITHOUT A PART?
Whether you should tie a braid with or without a parting depends entirely on your taste. A partless braid looks particularly good with a casual ponytail hairstyle. A side parting goes well with glamorous looks. A sleek ponytail looks good with a middle parting.
GET AWAY WITH BABY HAIR
Baby hair can be easily removed with a toothbrush. Don't use a toothbrush that you have used before or plan to use again. Spray the toothbrush lightly with hairspray, brush it lightly over the hairs and fix them in place.
HOW TO MAKE PONYTAIL HAIRSTYLES LOOK THICKER
To add more volume to your braid, you can use a very simple method: two braids. To do this, separate the top and side sections of hair from the bottom. Tie the top and side sections into a braid. Then tie the bottom section into a braid directly underneath. This will make your hair appear more voluminous.
BAD HAIR DAYS
A ponytail is a great way to hold your hair over for another day until you wash it. Work some dry shampoo into your hair and tie it into a ponytail.
