2. Curl front sections

Now, curl those two front sections with a curling iron.


Go for a thin curling iron, as we want small, defined curls as opposed to large, loose ones.

4. Pin down curls

Using bobby pins, take some of the curls from the top of the ponytail and pin them to the top of your head.

Finish by gently pulling on your hair to give you some more volume at the top.

Here is the finished look. I love all of the little curls, each falling in a different direction - it gives the whole hairstyle a lot of texture and makes it really fun.


The curls pinned to the top of my head are also super cute. Give this hairstyle a try for yourself, and let me know what you think!
