6. High Sleek Ponytail
A high, straight ponytail is a powerful, elegant look that pulls everything together. It is perfect for both gym sessions and red-carpet events. The key to this look is the “swoop”—ensuring there isn’t a single bump or flyaway on the scalp.
How to Make
Brush your hair into a high, tight ponytail while applying a generous amount of firm-hold styling gel. Use a bristle brush to smooth every strand toward the crown. Secure with a sturdy elastic. Once the ponytail is secured, flat-iron the length of the ponytail until it is bone-straight. Wrap a small piece of hair around your elastic to hide it and secure with a bobby pin.
Things Needed
- Firm-hold styling gel
