Ponytail
Perfect Hair Styling Tips…
Top stylist + new hair elastic = easy and cool hair
There’s nothing better than an inexpensive
little find that rocks.
Sure, everyone has worn a ponytail from time to time, but not always with top
notch results.
The slick ponytail is the requisite cool hairstyle for fashionista girls
who crave that
offhand hip look. But for most, ponytails don’t always come with
top notch results.
Surburban housewives still think that a
scrunchie
is a fashion statement, ouch! Others, can’t quite grasp that a ponytail can
be chic instead of a way to haphazardly gather undone hair. And, don’t even
get me started on
bald men holding on to their hippiehood with a dangling banana
curl held by the rubberband that they found on the post office floor, ouch,
ouch,ouch!
Now, there is a simple salvation that just about idiot-proof’s what should be
the easiest hairstyle in the world.
Goody StayPut elastic are slip-proof hair bands that have an intertwining
rubbery strip which gently and securely keeps hair in place without dreaded
broken ends. It’s a simple and effective hair solution that makes you wonder why
someone didn’t think of it before.
To celebrate the launch of StayPut elastics, Goody has teamed up with celebrity
hair stylist Paul Labrecque-- who has worked with tops stars like
Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Hilary Swank-- to
share his tips on how to keep your ponytail looking its best.
Paul Labrecque’s Top Ten Ponytail Styling Tricks:
1. Start with day-old hair and
don’t wash it the day you wear a ponytail. Your hair's natural oils will help
the ponytail hold better.
2. Use a soft gel to lightly go over the hair to keep short ends
in and rid any fly away hairs for a more polished look. Also dab a little bit of
conditioner on ends to keep them looking glossy.
3. With a flat paddle brush, use small circular rotations to sweep
the hair up. This will keep hair flat and reduce any tangles or pesky bumps.
4. Before you start brushing the hair, decide where on the head you want
the ponytail to sit. Use the palm of your hand to grab the hair easily
and place it up.
5. If you have long or very curly hair, flip your head upside down to
smooth out the front of your hair, then come back right-side up to actually
secure the hair elastic.
6. Once the pony is secured in your hand, give the hair a slight
clockwise twist to interlock any shorter layers.
7. For a tighter ponytail, slip the hair elastic into position and
change hands to give it a second or third twist.
8. When removing the hair elastic, hold the base of the ponytail and
glide the elastic off so it doesn’t pull or snag strands.
9. For a simple chignon, tie the hair elastic at the root of the
hair and tie another elastic on the ends. Then knot the hair under and pin both
elastics together
10. For shorter layers, use multiple hair elastics on the hair to
hold in the layers and keep strands in place. Use different colors for a fashion
statement.
