Pump Up Your Ponytail!

Ponytails can only be so interesting, right? No! A pony can be simple, helping you keep your hair out of your face while at the gym, but it can also be sophisticated and perfect for completing a formal look. Get the new look right now with the pompadour pony. It adds height and volume (which pulls in another hair trend for 2014: big hair) and looks fab on everyone. How can you get it at home without giving up and feeling like a failure?

1. Gather a triangle section of your hair, starting from your hairline to your crown, and clip it out of the way.

2. Pull the rest of your hair into a mid pony (either smooth or tousled, depending on the look you're going for).

3. Unclip the top section of your hair and use a volumizing or texturizing product on it, like Big Sexy Hair.

4. Backcomb this section of hair a bit, until you achieve the amount of oomph you want and then pin in place over your ponytail.

5. If you're looking for bigger hair, use volumizing/texturzing product on your ponytail as well and curl, then finger-comb to loosen.

We are seeing this look, in different versions, on the runways, on the red carpet and even on brides. It's a way to make your boring pony extraordinary.
