Stylist Dee came in to teach us how to look stylish in a ponytail!
PONYTAIL #1- THE PERFECT PONYTAIL
Oval Shaped
Considered to be the ideal face shape as it has the perfect balance
any type of ponytail with work for this face shape
Long Face
A long face is considered to be perfectly long on both the forehead and chin area
DO NOT wear a high top ponytail as this will strengthen the effect of the long face
long side fringe will soften the face
low ponytails are ideal for this face shape
Ponytail Tips & RULES
You're never too old to wear a ponytail, regardless of age or social status, ponytails are always acceptable.
Ponytails are a great bad hair day solution
High ponytails provide an instant facelift, it puts tension on the face and emphasizes the cheekbones.
Always use an "ouchless" elastic as it will help protect the hair from breakage and it's painless.
Ponytails can cause headaches if the hair is long and heavy or worn too tight. Wear the ponytail on the nape of the neck in order to reduce the tension.
Tight ponytails worn everyday can cause alopecia, inorder to avoid this problem loosen the hair on the sides or take breaks between wearing ponytails
PONYTAIL #2 - TRENDY Double Knot Ponytail
Step 1: Brush out the hair entirely from root to end, making sure there are no knots
Step 2: Take a "v" section from the front hair line to the crown and then section out
Step 3: Brush back the remaining hair into a low ponytail (nape of the neck), wrap elastic band around and secure
Step 4: Tease the tail of the ponytail slightly to create some texture
Step 5: Take the middle piece of the ponytail out and loop it around and secure with a couple bobby pins
Step 6: Take a section from the side of the tail and also loop it around and secure with a couple bobby pins
Step 7: Take the "v" section that you left out in the beggining and give it a light tease in small sections until the whole section has been teased
Step 8: Comb out the tease on the surface and connect the section to the rest of the ponytail and secure with a bobby pin
Step 9: Finish the look off by spraying with a hairspray and be sure to spray a generous amount of the tail in order to create texture
