Ponytails are a hairstyle staple for many because they are simple and convenient.


Follow along to learn how to take this go-to hairstyle one step further by creating a super voluminous ponytail with me.

Tools and materials: 

  • Hair tie
  • Hairspray
  • Backcomb brush

1. Collect your hair into a ponytail and twist the hair tie once

Collect all of your hair (aside from some face-framing strands) at the back. Pull all that hair through the hair tie, twisting it just once while holding it in place with one hand.

Separate the top half of the tail with one hand.
