Get the Look: Perfect Ponytails Video

Ponytails aren't just the way to keep the hair out of your face, although they do that too. When done correctly, they can be a very sexy look. We're going to show you 2 braid ponytail looks: the low ponytail and the high ponytail. Let's start with the low ponytail. Here's how to get the look. Step 1: Towel dry your hair. Spray a volumizing product onto your damp hair. This will increase your hair's body so it won't look limp. Step 2: Blow dry your hair completely. For best results, blow dry hair using a downward motion and a paddle brush. Step 3: Part your hair to one side. To find the best placement for your part, use your eyebrow. Find the line about 3 quarters of the length of your brow. Step 4: Brush your hair back into the low ponytail. Tie with a thin elastic. Step 5: Take a quarter inch thick piece of your hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to hide it. Step 6: To finish off the look, spritz a little hair spray on your fingers and pat down any flyaways. For a glossy look, choose a gloss spray. Make sure you hold it far enough away from the head when spraying. The application will be more even. Now we can move on to the high ponytail. Step 1: Towel dry your hair and apply a volumizing spray, just like before. Step 2: Blow dry your hair with a wide pedal brush, in a downward motion, pulling the hair straight as you go. Step 3: Tease or back-comb a section of the hair at the crown. Step 4: Smooth your hair from the front into the tease section and secure with a band. This will give you a little bump in the back. Step 5: Spritz some hair sprays and pat down any flyaways. Step 6: Experiment with a headband or barrettes to keep the hair in front smooth. Not only will your hair be out of your face, you now have a sleek and sexy new look.
