In a Pony Tail Rut? Gorgeous, Easy-to-Do Hairstyles for Girls With Long Hair

The Wrapped Pony

From: Cozy's Complete Guide to Girls' Hair

Good For These Types: Straight, Wavy, Curly

Good For These Lengths: Medium, Long

Hair Should Be: Dry

What You’ll Need: Comb or paddle brush, ponytail holder and hairpins

Difficulty: Easy

How To Do It:

1. Make a high or low ponytail using a plain ponytail holder, but leave a 1-inch strand underneath the tail free from the holder.

2. Wrap the 1-inch section around the base of the ponytail several times, completely covering the ponytail holder.

3. Use a hairpin to secure the end of the wrapped strand to the base of the ponytail, or tuck it under the ponytail holder.

4. Repeat the process on the other side of the part to create two more twists, for a total of four. Attach pretty mini-butterfly clips to the ponytail holder on each twist. Rub a pea-sized amount of gel or light styling cream between your palms and scrunch the curls to finish.
