2 ways to add volume to your basic pony

First: The top section of your hair will go in an elastic and you can easily adjust how it will lay and where you want the volume added.

Second: you’re going to volumize by pulling the bottom pony through itself in a Topsy tail which will give automatic lift to the top pony

Bonus: it adds length to the pony too because you’re splitting it in 2!

Easy peasy! Follow @blushbasics for more tips and save for later!

... Read moreAdding volume to a basic ponytail can instantly transform your look from simple to stylish, making it perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. The first technique involves sectioning the top part of your hair and securing it with an elastic. This simple step allows you to adjust the volume exactly where you want it, giving your ponytail a fuller appearance without needing any special tools. The second technique, called the topsy tail, is a clever trick that lifts your ponytail by pulling the bottom pony through itself, creating an automatic lift that instantly adds volume and a playful twist to your hairstyle. Not only does this method give your ponytail more body, but it also splits the ponytail in two, which adds extra length and dimension. For best results, start with slightly textured or second-day hair, as this adds grip and helps the ponytail hold its shape longer. You can also tease the roots gently before tying the elastic to boost volume even more. Finishing with a light hairspray will ensure your voluminous ponytail stays put all day. These easy-to-follow tips are perfect for anyone looking to enhance their ponytail style quickly and effortlessly. Experimenting with these methods can give you a range of looks from polished and sleek to casual and voluminous. Incorporating just a few simple techniques into your routine can upgrade your everyday hairstyle, making it look more dynamic and fashionable without much effort.
