How to make your ponytail pop

Kylie

I’ve got thick-hair-girl problems. My ponytails literally look like a horse’s mane. Heavy. But I figured out a little trick to make my ponytail stand up a bit.

Fair warning, it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world. But its perfect for a short amount of time, like church or a date night when you want to give your pony a bit more oompf.

And all it takes is two strategically placed bobby pins underneath your ponytail. Not all bobby pins are created equal, my favorite blond bobby pins grip goooood are these Scunci brand ones.

Try it!

For another way to boost your ponytail, see my post here.

Ouch! I found that making two ponytails works:Part your hair so the first ponytail is mostly the hair on the top and sides, but leave the hair in the back below your ears out. Make this ponytail where you wan the bulk to stick out. Then part the hair in the back, below the first ponytail,and pull it around the first and onto the top and secure it with a scrunchie. there is less hair in the second ponytail so it sits higher and being on top of the first one, it makes the whole set seem higher.

There is basically no difference between the two pictures. Tease your hair if you want it bigger.

^Like Theresa, I use a small claw clip but in the middle of the ponytail (like if it was divided to be braided or something). It's much more comfortable. _lenak

I use a small hair clip for extra oompf. I clip it under my ponytail, just below the elastic band. It's comfy too!
