Easy Puffy Ponytail

1. Look straight into a mirror. Use both of your thumbs to pull together a 1½-inch section of hair from the front part of your head. (Use the highest part of your eyebrow arches as a guide.)
2. Clip that front section of hair forward and away from the rest of your hair.
3. Gather the remaining hair and position it 2-3 inches above the top of your ears. Secure with a hair tie or band.
4. Take the original section of hair and backcomb or tease it until you get the desired amount of lift in front.
5. Gather that teased section of hair, pinch it with your thumb and forefinger, and secure with two bobby pins, criss-crossing them for a tighter hold.
6. Take any extra hair from the top section (or from the bottom of your ponytail) and wrap it around the ponytail to cover up the hair tie. Secure the ends by pushing a bobby pin back in towards the ponytail.
7. Use a strong hold hairspray to keep the top section in place.
