Messy Side Ponytail
Prep your hair.
Start off by prepping your hair with dry shampoo. This step is essential because it allows you to start off with hair that’s free of oil buildup and full of texture at the same time. We suggest TRESemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo for a weightless feeling and a touch of texture.
Create your ponytail.
Use a hair tie similar to your hair color to create a low ponytail that’s placed slightly to the side.
Wrap your hair.
Grab a small one-inch section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base of the style. Use a bobby pin to secure the strand into the ponytail. This will give your messy ponytail a touch of polish
Secure your style.
Finish off with a mist of Nexxus Styling Comb Thru Finishing Mist. This hairspray ensures a secure hold while also adding some bounce and movement to your style.
That's it!
The beauty of this style is how versatile it is. You’ll find yourself wearing this messy ponytail for every at-home occasion on your agenda. From virtual work meetings to a FaceTime first date…the list goes on.
