No one would ever know your stylish ponytail was done on dirty hair! It’s fairly simple to create the cutest ponytail styles without the use of hair elastic, here’s how:

How To Create Ponytail Styles in Minutes

1

Start with dry hair.

Begin with dry and detangled hair. If your hair is feeling greasy, use some of the Dove Detox&amp Purify Dry Shampoo to refresh your hair. If you need a little detangling, brush hair gently with a boar bristle brush from ends to root.

Smooth your hair.

If you have wavy or curly textured hair or just want a smooth finish, whip out your flat iron. Prep your hair with some of the TREsemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray then glide the flat iron across any wavy areas for a straight finish. If you have super curly hair, hold your hair taut while flat ironing to lay kinks straight.

Pull hair upwards.

Using your hands, smooth hair up to the center of your crown to create a high ponytail. You can opt to use TREsemmé TRES Two Ultra Firm Control Gel to lay down any flyways around your hairline.

Secure ponytail with hair strand.

Loss of hair ties won’t shake this hairstyle. Take a strand of hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail. Insert a bobby pin to secure the hair in place.
