Tutorial 2: Textured, Volume Ponytail
We dig frizz-free hair styles too and just because you’re going for a big doo doesn’t mean your mane needs to be a big messy fro. Let’s curb the frizz and create a ponytail to die for. Simply watch our tutorial as VS Stylist Rob Reeves teaches you how to whip up this style, thanks to the VS Frizz Defense Hot Air Styler.
TIP: To get that big, bouncy blow dry finish create your base using a rotating hot air styler.
Step-by-Step
How to Get The Look: Textured, Volume Ponytail
1. Dry & style with your rotating hot air styler to create a voluminous base.
2. Take a section 5cm from the part down to the ear and clip away. Repeat on the other side.
3. Take a halo section 5cm back from the hairline and clip away.
4. Clip the bottom section away.
5. Release the halo section then split into three.
6. Back comb the middle of the three sections to create cushioning.
7. Smooth the top, roll and then pin.
8. Repeat on the next section.
9. Release the bottom section from the clip. Take the top section and side pieces from the halo. Lightly back comb then smooth over the cushioning.
10. Sweep the bottom pieces into the back. Smooth in a ponytail and secure with a hair tie.
11. Release the clips at the front and brush back towards the ponytail. Wrap the end around the hair tie and pin.
12. Repeat on the other side.
13. Use two hair bands and wrap around the ponytail to secure and create more volume.
And that’s how you create a stunning textured ponytail with volume! It’s worth the effort because how gorgeous does this hairstyle look!
