7 Tips on How to Get the Perfect Ponytail
A ponytail is perhaps the most widely used hairstyles around the world. Hair, short or long, when tied up in a ponytail cannot go wrong. But getting the right style of ponytail can turn around things on the fashion front. Here are some secrets for getting the perfect ponytail.
1. Have washed or dirty hair
This is perhaps the first secret to a great ponytail. Make sure your hair is shampooed and clean before you gather it into a neat ponytail. A little dampness will also work better. Messy and dirty hair, on the other end will also be great for a casual ponytail. So, if you have washed your hair or not, you can make a ponytail that is ideal for the occasion.
2. Choose the position
Where you tie your hair makes a difference to your face, your style and even the occasion. Ponytail that is tied higher makes your face and torso look longer and one that is tied low will accentuate your jaw. So the position of the ponytail can create flattering looks.
3. Decide where to part hair
Hair parting makes a lot of difference to a perfect ponytail. The shape of the face and natural fall of hair are important factors in deciding where you’d want to part your hair. Parting on either side with side swept bangs creates one look and parting in the middle can create another look. Choose a style that best suits your face or the dress you are wearing.
4. Back comb your hair
If you have a round face and intend to make it appear elongated, back combing hair at the crown of your hand can help you achieve your objective. Brushing it gently to its natural fall will help you create height but still give you a smooth finish. When you tease hair at the crown of your head, round faces look longer and a retro style look can be achieved.
