Inspired by 2013 trends and influenced by designers such as Jenny Packham and Christian Dior, why not introduce a bit of 1960's Vegas Glamour to the party and be the ultimate show pony. Asgar (www.asgarboo.com) reveals how to achieve that celebrity sparkle a'la Beyoncé and Jessica Alba teaching you how to jazz up the traditional ponytail just in time for the party season.
10 Simple steps on how to achieve a Low Pony with a Twist:
- Apply a handful of mousse to towel dried hair working the mousse to the ends
- Dry with a flat paddle brush away from the hairline. Ensure that the hair dryer is set to a medium heat and high speed when doing so.
- Using a metal tail comb, create a deep side parting on the left side of the head.
- Gently back comb the right side of your hair using a comb to create texture and volume. Hairspray and smooth out the hair with a brush
- Bring the front of the section that you have just parted to just above the right ear making sure that it sweeps and drapes where the end of your eyebrow is.
- Begin twisting the section inwards to create a loose twist around the hairline securing your twist with hair grips as you go along.
- Continue twisting until you get to the bottom left side of the neck.
- Tie the hair into a low side ponytail with a thin elastic hair band.
- Spray a good thermal protector onto your pony before finally blow drying the ponytail (Use a warm not hot setting for the ultimate sleek finish.)
- To add a little Christmas twist, add some strands of hair tinsel as seen on Beyoncé, which you can find from specialist online stores. Be sure not to add too much as it will take away from the beautiful pony.
