Step-By-Step: the Sleek Ponytail

The ponytail is every girl’s failsafe hairstyle. Effortlessly feminine and forever practical, it’s perhaps the most versatile look out there. Here’s how to create a flawless, sleek ponytail every time.



1
STRAIGHTEN 

Start by blow-drying your hair straight using a big round brush – be sure to apply a heat protecting spray to avoid damage!









2
SPLIT 

Pull your hair back into a half-up ponytail that sits high on your head. Then create another ponytail with the rest of your hair that sits at the middle of your head.









3
UNITE 

Now, join them together and secure with a hairband. By dividing your hair into two separate ponytails first, you create a stable base for your up-do.








4
ADD SHINE 

Rub some serum into your hands and smooth it over your hair to get rid of any flyaways and unwanted frizz.











5
WRAP IT UP 

Now carefully remove a thin section of hair from your ponytail and wrap it around your hairband to conceal it. Secure with a hairgrip and apply more serum for added shine.

Sleek and tight, you now have the perfectly polished ponytail!
