How to do the curly ponytail

1

Clean hair

Wash hair with a shampoo & conditioner that keeps scalp feeling fresh while giving your hair more volume, like Dove Oxygen and Nourishment Shampoo and Dove Oxygen and Nourishment Conditioner. After all that running around at the store it would be good to start out feeling fresh and your scalp squeaky clean.

Protect

Spritz TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray to your half dry hair to protect against heat damage. This is something you need to shield your hair while you enjoy what your styling tools can do for you.

Blow dry

Blow dry your hair using a hair dryer and paddle brush. Let’s make sure your hair is dry and tangle free so there wouldn’t be snags when you start curling your hair.

Curl

Take a section of your hair and wrap it to the barrel of your curling wand.  Here we go. Start curling from the ends of your hair and roll it up. Be careful, don’t let it hit your face or any skin as it may give you a painful burn.

Loosen

Curl all of your hair and loosen the curl with your fingers. Repeat all over your hair. Make sure to loosen the curls with your fingers so the heat may be shaken out of it to let it breathe out. Just in case you’re rolling it too hot.
