You have approximately one minute to do your hair before school and you’re soo not feeling a boring ol’ ponytail. We’ve got a super-jazzed up pony that’s guaranteed to wow all your gal pals. Girlies, say hello to the looped-under ponytail!

Nick Penna Jr., owner and lead stylist of Boston‘s SalonCapri gives us six quick ‘n’ easy steps to get this posh pony in no time!
 
1. Blow-dry your hair using a round brush and a smoothing serum. Nick swears by L’Oreal Professionnel Textureline Smoothing Serum.

2. Using a fine-tooth comb, create a part in the center of your head.

3. Pull your hair into a smooth ponytail at the nape of your neck. Use a paddle brush to smooth each side of the ponytail. Secure with an elastic.

4. Take the whole ponytail and tuck it under to make a loop. Secure with an elastic, keeping a small piece of hair free.

5. Using that loose piece of hair from underneath the ponytail, loop it around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

6. Finish with strong hold hairspray. Nick loves Shu Uemura’s Sheer Lacquer.

Hey fashionista!

 

Seems like it might be the time to whip out a LBD (or LWD) and a colorful accessory, to go with your classy style. Dressy pants and a chic top is also a great option. Hope that helps!

I have thin hair, and I can never use a bobby pin! They are always loose and not secure, even if I use two! They never stay no matter what hair style!Do you have any tricks or other products I can use? Thank you!

So this summer, I want to get a perm. (To curl my hair?) Because I've been living with dark, pin-straight hair my entire life and I just want a change. Are perms healthy? If not, what are some other ways to get my hair curly? (And curling it with a curling iron will NOT work... my hair just becomes straight again in 10 minutes!!!) Also, I always wear my hair down, because I don't like it when it's in a pony-tail. Are there some cute hairstyles that don't require having my hair in a ponytail? Thanks! (Sorry this was so long!)




Hey girlie,

I have super straight hair too so I TOTALLY understand wanting curls, but perms? They are NOT healthy, girl. They're actually the opposite: they put a lot of stress on your hair and really damage it. Plus, perms are permanent. There's no deciding you made a mistake and want your old hair back: there's no way to mix it up until it totally grows out again. Personally, I've embraced my straight hair and all the fun styles we can do with straight hair that curly-haired girls can't! Check out the following series of articles with hairdos and give some of them a try. There are so many ways to mix up your look, like new styles, bangs, layers, headbands, etc. Don't do something so damaging and permanent!
