Is your high ponytail flat? Does it emphasize your fine hair? We have a magic solution to give it volume with a twist of elastic!
Super practical for rushed mornings, the ponytail is a hairstyle that all women with long (and medium-length) hair have worn at least once. Easy to do and customizable according to the occasion, it does however have the defect of sometimes emphasizing the finesse of our hair and its lack of volume. This tie can indeed lack tone achieved on certain hair when it is worn high.
A hair problem to which a TikTok user by the name of Melissa Riddell has the solution that we have been missing so much. And rest assured, it is very simple and does not require an appointment with the hairdresser or to take a course of food supplements to boost the growth and the thickness of the fiber. Indeed, in a video shared on her account @melissa_riddell, the young woman teaches us to divert the use of hair elastic which is used to make the tie to make her ponytail more voluminous.
How to boost the volume of your ponytail?
- Brush your hair to untangle any knots.
- Gather your lengths then pull them up into a high ponytail.
- When tying with the elastic, only make two turns with it instead of three, or one instead of two in order to have a little leeway.
- Then divide the lengths of your ponytail into two parts, so that the first half of the hair is located above the second half of the hair.
- Take this second half of hair and then start another round of elastic that only tightens this part of the hair.
- As you can see in the video, thanks to this extra turn of elastic, the upper part of the hair immediately seems more voluminous and plump because it rests on the second tail separated from the rest which is located just below.
