The Sleek Pony Tail: Hairstyle Makeovers

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to introduce how to do an easy, sleek, ponytail. So, for our lovely model, we're going to brush the sides because you want to make sure you get a good grip on your ponytail so it stays and it doesn't fall out. Okay, so what I'm going to do is, I'm going to take this, and I usually take half sections at a time so you don't just grab the whole thing. And this is a great look where you can do, again, every day or you can dress it up at night and put an accessory in your hair. And I'm going to show you that in a minute. So we're going to do a very sleek ponytail. And I like to do ponytails that are lower so you don't look like you have a little thing going on in the back. So this is a really great look because if you wear a dress, you can wear it low and put a pretty barrette in it. So now we're going to take just a basic rubber band. You can get clear, or nude, or black, whatever fits your hair color. She has like a deep reddish brown, like auburn so the black will look great in her hair. So I'm going to bunch her hair at the bottom and I'm going to wrap it around probably three times if I can get it. If you can't, you can do two. Okay, great. So we have that. Now like I said, it's not too tight because you want to be able to play with it. You want to be able to put some gel in it and hairspray so it's not going to fall out. So now that we have the ponytail, you can do two things. I have this really pretty diamond clip and what we can do is put that on the side so it holds whatever hair that's coming out. So it's really pretty because people will see that and, here, if you can just turn to the side. Diamond is a girl's best friend. Diamond is a girl's best friend and especially in Hollywood. Now, if you don't want to wear a barrette, here you can show that, and that's beautiful at night too because you can put any sort of diamond in your hair and it will just dress it up. And if you don't want to do that, what you can do for the daytime look is, this is a little gold rubber band, okay. And this is cool because you can wrap it around and it looks like an accessory. So you take this, and I'm going to have you actually turn to the side, and what you do is you come from underneath and you just wrap it around and it looks like a rubber band but on, when you see it on, you'll see. It looks like its own accessory. And you can turn and see how pretty that looks. And that's just something in the day where you can just throw it up and wrap it around. Now you can get this in any color. You can also put the knots down below so you don't see them for a sleeker look and that's the ponytail."
