Frequently Asked Questions
How do you do a sleek ponytail with curly hair?
Section your damp curls, apply gel, comb them, and rinse. Repeat with each section until the product is evenly spread. Next, comb your gelled hair to stretch the curls smoothly and secure it into a ponytail.
How do you do a cute messy ponytail?
Pull all your hair up to the crown of your head and secure it into a ponytail. Take an inch of the hair section from the ponytail to wrap it around its base. You can skip the last step and use a bright, oversized satin hair scrunchy for an extra touch of cuteness. It is better to try it with second-day hair that may have a naturally messy texture.
What is a double ponytail?
A double ponytail is a hairstyle that uses two ponytails tied close together, one above the other. The result looks like a single voluminous ponytail with cascading layers as the top ponytail covers the base of the one below it.
How do you do a high ponytail without bumps?
Start with a half-up ponytail. For that, section your hair ear-to-ear at the back of your head, dividing them into top and bottom halves. Brush your top half and secure it into a ponytail at your desired base spot. Then brush the rest of your hair up, add it to the base of the half-up ponytail and tie them.
