Your Classic Swept-Back Ponytail, Reimagined
Start with a classic ponytail.
Start your style off with a classic ponytail. Comb your hair straight back and use a hair tie to secure your ponytail at the back of your head. We’ll worry about making the style smooth and sleek in the next steps, so don’t worry too much about perfecting it now.
Add height and a sleek finish.
Use your fingers to tug some of the hair out of the ponytail at the top. Anchor one hand on the hair tie and use the other hand to tug to ensure that you don’t get carried away. After that, take a 1-inch strand of hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail. Use a bobby pin to secure that strand of hair!
Comb through.

That's it!
Easy enough, right? Adding volume and a sleek finish to your classic swept-back ponytail is a breeze with the right products and styling techniques
