How to: The twisted ponytail

Give the classic ponytail – quite literally - a twist. Pulled together and ultra-glossy, the twisted ponytail is surprisingly easy to do. Don’t believe us? Follow our step-by-step guide and see for yourself.


1

VOLUME

Add volume to your roots by gently teasing your hair. Apply hair spray and smooth over any flyaways with a hairbrush. 

 







2

DIVIDE

Part your hair into two pigtails at the base of your neck. Secure one with a hairband so that the ponytail sits just behind your ear.

TWIST

Take the unsecured section of hair and twist it tightly – you want to twist inwards, towards the other ponytail. Secure with hairgrips.

FASTEN

Wrap the twisted ponytail around the other pigtail concealing the hairband. Secure both pigtails together with a hairband and finish with hairspray for hold.
