How To: High Ponytail With Volume

Want a high pony with lots of volume? This post was originally an Ask Elle question, and I promised to elaborate on the directions. It's a classic hairstyle with a modern twist. Here's how to:

• If needed, use some dry shampoo in the roots.

• For volume in the crown, use a teasing brush/comb or volumizing powder (used here). Spray the teased roots with hairspray if desired. 
• Use bobby pins if desired to hold that poofed section. Smooth teased section down and spray for hold.

• Pull hair into ponytail with one hand, and instead of putting the elastic right in the middle of the back of your head, move it lower. Secure with elastic. 

• Place the tail up flat on your head.

• Split ponytail into 2 sections, and pull the sections down to create more volume.
• Your elastic will have moved into the middle/upper part of your head.

• Use end of teasing brush to pull up any flat sections of hair. That's it!
