PONY UP!


I recently came across a beautiful photo on Pinterest that got me thinking about ponytails and now I can't stop. It's such an easy fix to get out the door fast and anyone can create a ponytail. Ponytails can been seen on red carpets and runways and have some major staying power. Most people just pull their hair straight back and that can work great in a pinch but if you take it just one step further it can become something fabulous! Here's how...

BUMP IT UP
This is great for Day 2 (or 3) hair, use a little dry shampoo and add a little volume at the crown. The trick is to not brush out all of your work pulling it back!

PART WAYS
Shift your part just slightly farther than you normally wear it and create a dramatic look in an instant!

THAT'S A WRAP
This is the oldest trick in the book but it still works! Take a small piece of your ponytail and wrap it around the rubber band for the perfect finish. Extra credit if you braid the piece first!

FINISHING SCHOOL
Add a little Elixir Ultime (yes I'm still obsessed with this product) to your ends so they look polished and shiny....and they will smell great too!
