Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, topsy tail tool, 2 small hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-By-Step Instructions:
- I started by adding wand curls to Kamri’s hair. {optional}.
- Next, section off some hair from about the middle of the ear to the other middle ear.
- With your small section of hair, divide it into two pieces and clip them each to keep them out of the way temporarily.
- Now with the top section of hair, create a ponytail and secure with an elastic. I pulled and created fullness at the top for a softer look. You can backcomb, tease, or add texture spray to get a little more volume to your ponytail. Adding the curls will also add to the pretty texture of the hair.
- Your ponytail should be sitting about the middle of the ears. I also left out a few wisps in the front for a soft boho look.
- Pick up your topsy tail and place it about 1/3 of the way in from the outside of the head on one side of your ponytail.
- Pick up the bottom piece of hair (you clipped out of the way previously) OPPOSITE from the topsy tail.
- Pull the bottom section through the topsy tail and pull down through your ponytail.
- Repeat steps 7-8 on the other side.
- Now secure all of the hair together with a small elastic.
- Go back and do any tweaking to the ponytail. You might want to loosen your criss cross a bit to cover the elastic.
- And last, add hairspray {if desired}.
