Detangling hair

1. Detangle

Detangle your hair with a detangling brush straight out of the shower while your hair is still wet.


Start at the end of your hair and work your way up to your roots.

Applying smoothing cream

2. Apply smoothing cream

Apply smoothing cream with your hands to smooth down the hair against your head. Don’t apply it to your ends.

Brushing hair

3. Brush it back

Brush back only one side of the hair.

Sectioning hair

4. Section off the front

Section off some hair on the front of the unbrushed side.

Sectioning hair

Clip it away. 

Smoothing hair

5. Smooth the hair in the back

Use a brush in combination with the smoothing cream to smooth away any flyaways in the back.

Tying hair

6. Combine the back and side sections into a ponytail

Combine the back and side sections of the hair and brush them back into a high ponytail.


The hair in the front should still be hanging out. Tighten.

Wrapping hair

7. Wrap the front section around the ponytail

Use more cream to smoothly brush the hair in front towards the back, and wrap it around your ponytail.

This will help hide the ponytail. Wrap it tight and it will lift the ponytail to give it the Barbie look.

Pinning ends

8. Pin the ends

Once you get to the ends, stick a bobby pin up into your ponytail to secure them.

Adding hairspray

9. Spray hairspray

Spray hairspray all around to ensure the hair stays in place.

Brushing

10. Brush

Brush out your ponytail to get rid of any stubborn tangles.

Flipping ends

11. Flip the ends

Use a hair straightener and flip the ends.


Go down your hair as if you’re straightening it, and then flip the ends towards the sky. Do this for several small sections.

The higher up you do this, the bigger the flip you’ll get.

Brushing it out

12. Brush it out

Brush out the flips and you’ll get the perfect Barbie high ponytail.
