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.

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.

Alternatively, you can blow dry your hair on medium to low heat in order to get results more quickly. After your hair is dry, add a touch of hairspray and enjoy the rest of your day!

Loose hairstyles are most easily attainable with hair that is slightly layered. The layers in the hair will allow your desired style to have more body, and will keep your hair from flattening out or losing its natural wave. Loose hairstyles also look trendy when put up into ponytails or clips. Simply dangle a few stray strands of hair along the front and sides of your face, and you’ve got yourself a trendy, yet casual hairdo. Many will agree that simple, loose hairstyles are the easiest way to manage long hair.

JOB INTERVIEW HAIRSTYLE TIPS FOR GIRLS

A job interview is one of the most stressful things for any girl. You don’t have to worry just about answering the interviewer’s questions – you also have to worry about your shoes, your behavior, your clothes, and your hair. Here are some ideas for great hairstyles that will take the worry out of your job interview. Make sure you get a trim to keep frizz to a minimum before you try any style!

Try wearing a chignon if you are not overly handy at styling your hair, or you just would prefer an attractive updo. This is a very easy style to do that looks like you spent hours on your hair. Simply pull your hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic that is hair-friendly and the same color as your hair. Twirl the whole thing around the ponytail’s base and just secure with hairpins. Use some the same color as your hair if you can find them to look more professional. For a nice touch, add something like a thin headband in tortoiseshell.

Interview Hair

Low ponytails can actually look very nice in a job interview, especially if your hair is wavy. Tie your hair back so that the ponytail lines up with the bottom of your ears and then take a half inch wide chunk of your hair and wrap around the holder. Secure with a hairpin stuck from the bottom up. This is a very stylish look for any job interview. If you want to add waves, put large curls in your hair with a curling iron or hot rollers and loosen the curls with your fingers to make the waves that you want. Add a touch of hair spray to avoid frizz.
