How to get curls... with a ponytail??

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog! Today I wanted to tell you how to get AMAZING curls that last all day, and use no heat!


This style works on most hair types, you will have to try it to make sure you love the results.

Here's how:

1/ Get a shower or hold your hair under running water to make your hair more tangle-free and silky.

2/ Gently comb it out and squeeze away any extra moisture. 

3/ Pull your hair back in a normal ponytail. (You can experiment with high/low ponytails to see which one suits your face shape)

4/ Stand so that your ponytail hangs down when you tip your head to the side. Place your palm behind the ponytail and use it to guide a brush to the tips of your hair.

5/ Start at the top of your ponytail and twist it the whole way to the end of your hair. 

6/ Keep the end clamped with your index finger and thumb.

7/ Wait a couple of minutes for your hair to dry slightly.

8/ Let go of the end of your ponytail. Just twirl your hand around the ponytail every now and then to keep its shape.

9/ Sleep or walk around all day. If your ponytail is messed up in the morning just twirl it with your hand again and it should be fine.

10/ Spritz your oversized ponytail curl with a small amount of hairspray and let dry. (You will need to spray it again so use only a SMALL amount!)

11/ Gently slide your ponytail holder over your hair.

12/ Very gently, use your fingers to separate the curl and create smaller curls. (DO NOT BRUSH)

13/ Lightly spray your hair with more hairspray.

14/ You can also pull the front pieces of your hair back if they are puffy or messed up.

Tips:

Add a little mousse to your hair while it is damp.

Allow hair to dry completely before taking it out of the pony tail.

Comb hair out for second/third day wear. You may need to use dry shampoo.



You get the same results as you would with a curling iron! such as in this photo:
