Making ponytail

1. Make a regular ponytail

Collect all of your hair in a ponytail and secure it with a scrunchie.


2. Make a small, topsy tail

Grab 2 equal sections of hair from either side of the ponytail and tie them together, on top of the rest of the hair, with a clear, hair elastic.


Then flip this small tail up and into the gap above the elastic to make a topsy tail.

Making topsy tail

Carefully pinch and pull at the topsy tail sections to add volume.
