Achieve this look in approximately 30 minutes or less.  Great for a date, night out with the girls, or even just to look sexy throughout the day!

What you will need:

  • Volumizing spray
  • Hair spray
  • Blow dryer
  • Bobby pins
  • Clear hair elastics
  • Paddle brush
  • Teasing comb

Getting the look:

1. After you have washed and towel dried your hair, blow dry using your paddle brush. Make sure to brush with your head forward to smooth hair. Then, finish drying by brushing your hair back off your face.

 

2. Apply volumizing spray to roots and tease at crown of your head with your teasing comb.  Smooth hair out a little, making sure to keep the volume.

 

3. Brush hair into a high crown ponytail, making sure to keep the hair smooth.  Secure with a clear elastic band.

 

4. Taking 1-inch of hair in pony, wrap it around your clear elastic band to hide it.  Secure with one or two bobby pins.

 

5. You can now tease your ponytail with your teasing comb to add fullness, or taking a hot roller or two, giving a slight wave to your ponytail.

 

6. Take your hairspray and spray your ponytail, securing down any loose or fly-away hairs.

This hairstyle is casual chic and great for day-to-night or after work plans.  Your hair will look voluptuous without looking like you even tried at all!

 

Want a little more volume in your hair but don’t have the time for a pony?  That’s ok, we have the solution for you too!  Follow these few, easy steps and you will have volume all day long!

What you will need:

  • Volumizing spray
  • Hair spray
  • Blow dryer
  • Paddle brush
  • Teasing comb

Getting the look:

1. Start out the same way as in the voluminous pony.  After you have washed and towel dried your hair, blow dry using your paddle brush.  Make sure to brush with your head forward to smooth hair.  Then, finish drying by brushing hair back off your face.

 

2. Apply volumizing spray to your roots and work it in with your fingertips.

 

3. Taking a little section at the front of your hair, spray lightly with hair spray and tease with your teasing comb.  Keep doing this, working your way to the crown of your head. Make sure you tease a bit on both sides of your head as well.

 

4. After you have reached the amount of volume you like, lightly smooth it out with your paddle brush, pushing hair back away from your face.

 

5. Spray your hair in place once you have it to your liking.

This is a simple and quick sexy hairstyle for everyday, which can also be done for an evening date. What can we say?
