How to Make Layered Ponytails
Give a new twist to a standard style by creating a layered ponytail. Unlike a regular ponytail, in which all the hair is gathered back at once, a layered ponytail divides the hair into sections. By wrapping the sections around your head two at a time, you create a tiered ponytail. This layered look makes the ponytail more elegant, turning it from the province of high-school cheerleaders to a stunning updo ideal for formal events. Does this Spark an idea?

Gather your hair from your hairline to just in front of your ears. Comb the hair smooth and secure it on top of your head, near the crown, with an elastic band.

Pull a small strand of hair out of the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic until the elastic is hidden. Secure the hair by tucking it into the underside of the elastic or inserting a bobby pin.
