High Voluminous Ponytail with Wrapped Base

How to Make

Securing thick wavy hair into a high ponytail creates a striking, lifted profile while neatly organizing heavy lengths away from the neck. Gather damp hair and apply a smoothing gel along the hairline and sides, using a firm boar-bristle brush to smooth the roots upward toward the crown. Fasten the ponytail tightly using a thick, non-slip elastic band capable of supporting heavy hair weight. Take a half-inch strand of hair from the underside of the ponytail, wrap it tightly around the elastic band until fully covered, and pin the tail underneath with a bobby pin. Apply a dollop of curl mousse directly to the exposed wavy ponytail length, scrunching upward to reactivate your natural bounce and volume. This sleek-to-textured setup provides a clean, polished face-lift effect while allowing your natural wave density to bloom dynamically in the back.
