3. Deep Side Part

And you want to make sure that your deep part is perfected and will last you for however long you want to keep the style. Before starting with putting your hair in a bun or ponytail, you want to set up your hair to style the side part. Begin by flat ironing your hair (low heat preferred) and creating a deep side part at the top once your hair is straightened. Now, you don’t have to create a silk press look when flat ironing your hair, it just needs to be straight enough for the parted hair to lay down nice and neat. Once you’ve placed the deep side part in your hair, clip it in place and make sure your edges are combed in place and laid down. Add some setting spray to the deep side part and pull it back into a ponytail, be sure to make sure that the front section is blending with the back of your hair. To make sure that your hair stays in place and the parted section lays down neatly, use wrapping paper or a scarf to hold it down while you install the ponytail. Once your hair is placed in a ponytail, begin wrapping your bundles around the base until you’ve achieved your desired length and volume for this style. Once your bundles are secured neatly with bobby pins, remove the wrapping paper or scarf to reveal the full hairstyle.

A bubble ponytail is fun and trendy for the summer. The bubble ponytail is simple yet stylish and creative and will have everyone asking for a tutorial on how to achieve the look. Since this ponytail is simply a twist on the classic ponytail, the way you style is slightly the same when it comes to the set up, once you need to make the “bubbles” in the ponytail, it’s important to take your time and pay close attention to the details so that you’re not having to constantly start over.

To achieve this bubble ponytail look you can use bundles of Brazillian Straight to make the hair easy to manipulate. You can place your hair in a high or low ponytail, it’s completely up to you. Some women even prefer to switch it up and wear the ponytail to the side. Once the ponytail is set up and your hair is laid down, begin adding your bundles to achieve your desired length and volume.

5. Ponytail with an Undercut

Quick Tips Before Starting Your Ponytail:

Keeping your hair healthy is always key when styling and wearing ponytails is no different. Before getting into your styles, be sure to thoroughly wash and comb through your hair. Take a few minutes to deep condition and make sure the hair is completely clean before adding your products to style.

Some stylists recommend blow drying your hair in order to achieve the best results. Avoid using direct heat from tools like flat irons but the blow-dried look will stretch your hair and make it easier to grip and place in ponytails before adding your bundles. Unless a style absolutely requires for your hair to be straightened, avoid using direct heat at all costs, most ponytail styles are created for all hair types so manipulation isn’t necessary.

Even though perfection is a myth, you can get close to perfection by perfectly placing your bun or ponytail before adding your bundles. By placing your bun in the perfect position on your head, this allows for your ponytail to not be lopsided or sitting in a random spot on your head.

Brush your hair thoroughly. In order to make sure your hair blends perfectly with the bundles, you want to get it as sleek as possible. Regardless of your hair type, brushing it with the necessary products will ensure that you achieve your desired look.

Ponytails are no longer for gym days or a lazy look, they’re giving more flair and sophistication to your everyday look. Whether you’re getting ready for a date night or stepping out with your girls, these ponytail looks are perfect for the summer weather.

To achieve the ponytail looks you will need a few styling products and tools such as our Brazilian Straight styling gel, conditioner, beeswax, brush, comb, hair scrunchies, and bobby pins. Any additional products are up to you and based on the look you want to achieve.

Be sure to maintain your bundle extensions with the proper care in order to keep your hairstyle looking polished for as long as possible.
