“Next, it’s time to secure your ponytail,” says Mewies. “Position is so important, so don’t go too high or too low in the nape, the middle of the back of your head is where you want to be,” she says. “Once secured, twist and bend the ponytail into shape winding around the hair-tie and pinning as it starts to bend. Allow the hair to move in its own direction, don’t force it too much into a shape it doesn’t want to go!”
A bungee hair tie will make creating this style much easier, says Jake Wanstall. “A Bungee tie will get ponytail super tight. Then use grips to pin in the bun to make sure it’s super clean,” he says.
