PONYTAIL OBSESSION - EID STYLE IDEAS & HOW TO!

Ponytail is one of my favorite hairstyles, Ponytails can be elegant, stylish, effortless chic, playful.... Its fab to wear one if you wana show off your smokey eye make up & sculpted cheeks!  Am always trying out new Ways & Styles, sometimes I just create one & it looks good most of the times:) Note if you have short hair, just pick up a ponytail extension and you will be able to apply all the styles below! 
With Eid break, there is no need for wasting our precious holiday time at the saloon everyday! Play with your hair during this festive season, try out new easy styles!  Have a look at my picks and choose the ones that fits you most & you're ready to rock! Hopin that the tutorials are clear enough for a gorgeous hairdo!


KNOTTED: This is a style worthy of a Greek goddess. Create a deep side part with a rattail comb, then use it to lightly tease the hair underneath the nape of the neck. Pull all your hair into a ponytail at the nape, secure it with an elastic, and then slip in a couple large bobby pins near your ears to hold back any flyaways. To make it look as if you tied the tail in a knot, take a large chunk of hair from the tail and wrap it around the rest of the hair a couple of inches from the base, sticking the ends into the elastic—no pinning necessary.


SCARF WRAP: BIG soft waves give this style a really romantic feel. If you have straight hair, wrap sections in figure eights around a double-barrel curling iron. Poof the center part with a comb and pull hair lightly into a low ponytail; secure with an elastic. Brush out the hair in the tail, then tie a thick, colorful printed scarf—or even a piece of fabric—around the elastic.

MESSY: I've been obsessed with this ponytail since the second I spotted it at the Michael Kors show and for good reason: It's fast, it's easy, and it doesn't require perfectly smooth hair (so put down your flat iron!). Blow-dry hair while roughing it up with your hands, then secure it in a low, tight ponytail at the nape of the neck. Tease the tail with a brush to give it volume and a rough-looking texture. Rake your fingers over the top of your head, from your crown to your hairline, to create haphazard flyaways. Finish by wrapping a section of hair around the elastic to hide it. Strong hold spray is required on the roots & on the front part.

BLENDED: At first glance, this ponytail is just a ponytail—but look closer: The style is actually a mix of two different textures (the top of the head is smooth and the tail is rough). "Smooth a bit of gel on top of the head, then brush the hair into a high ponytail," "Flat iron the tail, then mist it with some beach or strong spray; pull it apart with your hands to make it look edgy and rock and roll."

TIGHT BRAID: Apply gel to your roots and use a brush to pull hair into a high ponytail. Then braid the tail tight, securing the ends with an elastic. "It's good for a party, because it looks great with a cocktail dress. 

SIDE BRAID: This style has a pretty finishing touch. Pull back wavy hair and shift it over to one side of your neck, letting face-framing pieces fall free. Begin braiding at the nape, then tie it. Wrap a small section of hair from the ends over the cord to hide it; use a small bobby pin to fasten.

Eid Mubarak Ponytail Girls! xoxoxo
