How to Tease Ponytails
When you tease hair, you pump it up, and it stays this way for hours. The only negative aspect of teasing hair is that if you tease hair often, it may become damaged. Although this type of ponytail is appealing and stylish, try styling it from time to time only. That way, you can always enjoy a voluminous ponytail which is also thick and strong. Does this Spark an idea?

Spray some hairspray on this poofed-up part of your hair and allow it to dry.

5
Gather hair into a high, medium or low ponytail and secure with an elastic. If making a part, use the end of a rat-tail comb to maintain the poof. Do not part the teased sections.

6
Use your hands to puff up the teased section and to create an appealing bump. The bump should be located on the crown of your head and should end where your ponytail is located. For a low ponytail, you'll need to tease sections of hair in the back as well.

Run your comb through sections of the ponytail, teasing them towards the elastic to pump up your ponytail. The messier and puffier it looks, the better. Finish off with hairspray, or with a moisturizing spray.
