Tricks of the Trade, The Stylish Pony
Tricks of the Trade, The Stylish Pony
Pony tails have a bad rap in the hair field. Often seen on athletes, exercising women (and sometimes men) and those women who don’t have time or the desire to fix their hair, they have earned a reputation as a style-less, unfashionable way to doing hair. The truth is that using a pony tail in a stylish way isn’t as hard as you may think, and it can be very feminine and pretty at the same time.
Stylish Ponytail Hair
One of the best tips you can use when putting your hair into a ponytail is to do something different with it. Try putting your ponytail to the side or at the nape of your neck. Another great thing to do to make it unique and elegant is to tease the crown of your head so that it sits higher, giving it a more modern look. Headbands, pretty barrettes, and bangs also add great style and elegance to the standard pony tail style.
Some people who wear their hair in a ponytail a lot choose to get some unique highlights underneath their hair so it will be visible when the hair is put up. Some through a ponytail up into a stylish bun, while others curl their hair so it doesn’t just hang limp. The basic rule of ponytails is that as long as it’s not a boring, plain pony with the hair hanging flat and nothing else done with it, you’re golden. You can also try keeping the hair ruffled as you put it up instead of smoothing it down to give it a more tousled look.
CUTE SUMMER HAIR STYLES FOR CURLY HAIR
CUTE SUMMER HAIR STYLES FOR CURLY HAIR 2010
Having curly hair can be a pain in the rear. Sure, you see all the stars with their hopelessly immaculate curls that look sooo adorable, but the problem is that most of the time, they don’t have natural curls or they have tamed them to the degree that they are the fat, bouncy curls that don’t get knotty quite as quick as other curls.
Either way, it is quite the pain. But that shouldn’t put you down—there’s loads of things you can do with curly hair to make it look more adorable than it already is! After all, a mane of bouncy beautiful curls gives you a youthful, fun loving persona. Who wouldn’t want that?
1. Barrettes. This might seem a bit confusing, but honestly, all that you have to do is gather your bangs how you would like them, and clip them to the side. Barrettes are also great for capturing a few stray curls that have escaped from a bun—and they add a little bit of femininity to any hairstyle!
2. Buns. Buns work on almost anyone. If you don’t mind straightening your hair, you can create very interesting, multi-textured look. For example, you could sweep all but the forelock of your hair back into a bun and secure it with an elastic ponytail holder, or a scrunchy if you prefer. Then take the forelock and straighten it as much as you possibly can, using your preferred product. (Hair spray can work, but if you’re sweating, it may end up washing away the hair spray and result in more curls.) Then sweep it to the side and secure with a bobby pin or barrette.
3. French braids. French braids work on pretty much any hairstyle. They take a bit of work, but with a little bit of effort, you can take your unruly mane and tame it. French braiding your own hair is difficult, but it can be done. The best way to do so is to watch someone else braiding their hair or someone else’s and visualize the steps. It also might help to look up a tutorial that goes through it step by step and watch at the same time. Once you have it down in your mind, begin to practice. It takes a while to get your braid tight enough to stay all day, but it certainly can be done!
