GET THE LOOK:
The key to this updated classic is tons of texture and volume. Start with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, then add a texturizing cream to damp locks before loosely blow-drying. To add a bit of height, use a bristled brush and lightly backcomb face-framing sections before sweeping hair up into a loose ponytail at mid-height, says Dylan K. Hanson, Toronto-based celebrity hairstylist and consulting artist for Garnier. Divide your pony into thick sections and wrap each around the base, pinning every few inches. Make sure to alternate directions and tuck the ends in. To get that casual, slightly imperfect look, try this trick from Hanson: make circular motions with your palms over any areas where you want softness, like around your face and ears. “Rub it up just a tiny bit so there’s that nice spring.”
