A lot has been said about the versatility of a ponytail. Not only can you wear it to different activities; you can also jazz it up depending on the occasion. Casual days usually call for a simple, low ponytail, but why stop there when you can make your hairstyle better? Add a chic twist by going for a messy ponytail. Here’s how to make one.
8 Easy steps in creating a messy ponytail
Nourish your hair
Start by washing your hair with TRESemmé Detox & Nourish Shampoo and TRESemmé Detox & Nourish Conditioner. These products help bring back lost nutrients so you get hair that’s not only beautiful but also healthy.
Add texture
Spritz TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray on your hair to create a textured look. Spray on your roots as well for maximum effect.
Part in the middle
Using a tail comb, create a center part starting from your hairline up to your crown.
Tease hair
Get a section of hair from your crown and tease it. This will add volume to your ‘do. Start teasing from mid-length up to the roots of your hair.
Tie hair
Gently comb your hair to smooth it out, being careful not to ruin the volume you made through teasing. Then, gather your hair at your nape and tie into a low ponytail using an elastic or hairband.
Hide it
Take a section of hair about 5 cm in width from your ponytail and wrap this around your elastic. Secure it with a bobby pin. This will make your hairstyle look more chic and put-together, especially if the color of your hairband is different from your hair.
Let loose
Take a few strands of hair from your hairline, loosen them up, and let them frame your face.
Spray
Spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray as a finishing touch to make your hairstyle last all day.
Go out
Now, you have a chic and laidback hairstyle worth showing off. You might want to take a selfie first before heading out the door. You can wear a messy ponytail to school when you want to look extra pretty but not overly dolled up. It’s office-appropriate, too. You can put your hair in a messy ponytail to go with your blazer and slacks to rock a corporate-chic vibe.
