How to update your ponytail
» from Andy on May '08 | 2 replies.

Tying up your hair is often a way to deal with a hairstyle that goes flat or just plain wrong, but it doesn’t always have to be that way! Ponytails have reached dive level when updated to enhance any look. No matter your length of hair, there is a type of ponytail that you can try to shake up your daily routine.

Long Hair:
If you have straight or wavy hair, one way to update the basic ponytail is to add some sexy waves. Use a light mousse or gel all over you hair and curl a few face framing pieces. Tie your hair in low ponytail, then take small half inch sections and use the curling iron to create slight waves in your mane.

Still on the same wavelength as the wavy low ponytail, the messy bun, is another variation on the same theme.  The trick about the messy bun is to make sure that it blends well with the rest of your head. Make sure that you don’t have a bump just sticking out of your head, and use pins in strategic locations. Once you secure the low ponytail and create the waves, twist and use the elastic to create the bun. Take strategic pieces out of the bun and pin them to your head to create a fuller looking bun.

Medium Hair:
Don’t think the perfect ponytail is only for long haired gals, your medium hairstyle have the benefits of more funky styles. Layers give you the benefit is creating styles with face framing pieces. One ponytail style to try is the high sleek ponytail. Straighten your hair and tie at the middle of the back of your head, and use hairspray to ensure that the ends are pointing down perfectly straight.  Another great style for medium hair length with layers is the side braid. Create a short braid at the nape of your neck and finish at the front. Take out some face framing pieces and the look is complete!

Short Hair:
While most people with short hairstyle, can’t pull of the typical pony tail, there are ways to get similar effects. One idea to try is pompadour volume. Spritz and tease a section of your hair just behind where your bangs or hair begins, then fix your bangs back over the teased hair. Secure the hair with pins at the crown of the head, and create a low pony tail for the rest of your hair. This vamped up rocker style is another variation that gives the standard ponytail added excitement.

I don't know if you will be able to IMAGINE the following hairdo I want. I have managed to get the BOB look cut atop my head from my senior beautician friend (I am a senior and former beautician.) At this "very late" time in life I want TO pony tail my MED. tinted brown long nape hair myself. I'd like to CUT the BOB back and am afraid I might not use the correct technique...AS..what I learned about hair cutting in the past...is now in the ARCHIVES.
