Fancy Ponytail for Everyday

kieraI like to look professional and pulled together whenever I leave my house.  One of my favorite ways to style my hair to help me achieve this look is to create a full and wavy ponytail.  All I need is my hairdryer, one inch curling iron, hair tie and a good hairspray.  To get this style I first make sure my hair is completely dry and has plenty of volume. I blow my hair dry with my head upside down to add volume and sometimes I use a volumizing mousse.  Once my hair is dry, I spray a firm holding hairspray underneath my layers at the crown of my head.  Then I smooth the top of my hair back with a boar’s bristle brush, collecting my hair into a ponytail at the middle of the back of my head.  Not to high and not too low.  Once my hair is secured, I take one to two inch sections of the ponytail and curl them using my one inch curling iron.  My one inch curling iron gives me just the right sized curls.  I set the curls with a strong hairspray and once that has dried, I finger comb them to give them a more tousled look.  This whole styling process takes only thirty minutes from drying time to walking out the door and I always feel fabulous when I am done!
