Waves and curls can instantly glam you up. You look like you’re headed to somewhere special if you curl your hair. Even simple hairstyles look more dramatic if curls are added into the picture. If you’re tried curling your high ponytail, why not do it to a side ponytail? It’s easy. Here’s how.

10 Easy steps to create a curly side ponytail

1

Wash hair

Use a shampoo and conditioner that will deeply nourish your hair. You can’t go wrong with DOVE Intense Repair Shampoo and DOVE Intense Repair Conditioner. With Keratin-Actives, these products help repair signs of hair damage and restore your hair to optimum health.

Spray heat protectant

Let your hair dry on its own for a few minutes. When it is already half damp, spritz TONI&GUY Heat Protection Mist to guard it against heat damage. Make sure you spray on the inner sections of your hair, too.

Apply hair wax

Spritz TONI&GUY High Definition Spray Wax from mid-length up to the tips of your hair. These are the parts that you are going to curl, and the wax will add shape and definition to your locks.

4

Blow dry

Finger-comb your hair as you blow dry to make sure all strands of your hair get dry. Lift the outer sections of your hair as well so the heat reaches your scalp.

5

Clip hair

Divide your hair into two sections and put then on both sides of your face. Clip one section to get it out of the way as you curl.

Start curling

Get your curling iron. Then, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the barrel from mid-length up to the tips. Curl it away from your face, then slowly pull down the curling iron vertically. Repeat until all sections of your hair have been curled.

Tie hair

Put your hair in one side, but leave a small section around 3 cm wide on the other side. Tie the bigger section of hair in a side ponytail using an elastic.

Wrap it

Take the smaller section of hair that you left on the other side and wrap it around the elastic. Secure it with a bobby pin. Make sure that the pin is not seen.
