Tips for the Perfect Sleek Ponytail

We are loving the high and low sleek ponytail styles being rocked by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Rihanna so we have brought you the best tips for the perfect sleek ponytail. Use these tips to get a smooth, sleek ponytail look and say goodbye to those annoying fly aways!

Tips for the Perfect Sleek Ponytail

It is important to start with freshly washed, clean hair. When drying your hair, we recommend blow drying in the same direction as your intended ponytail as this will help keep the style in place. Starting with clean hair will also add shine to the hair, enhancing the sleek look. Clean and smooth hair is also easier to slick back free from any unwanted kinks or bumps.

tips for the perfect sleek ponytail

If you’re rocking a low ponytail, the part is an essential element in creating the sleek look. For a dead straight part like Kimmy K, use a tail comb! This is the easiest way to trace out your straight part and section away any out-of-place strands.

tips for the perfect sleek ponytail

Applying a small amount of gel around your hairline will flatten down any baby hairs and loose strands. This gel can be gently brushed back towards the crown to create a sleek texture. Be careful not to use too much as this will weigh down the hair; instead apply a small amount at the hairline and use the excess to slick back the rest of the head.

tips for the perfect sleek ponytail

Using a teasing brush is the handiest tool to achieve a super sleek ponytail look. Combs or bristle brushes will separate sections of your hair however thinner, teasing brushes have smaller soft bristles that assist in creating one smooth, flat surface.

It is important to secure your sleek look with the help of a little hair spray. Hairspray will once again, secure any loose hairs and ensure your ponytail stays sleek and perfect all night (or day) long!

Instant Hair Texture Tricks

Need to give your hair added depth and texture? These instant hair texture tricks will help you transform your hair to give it more character with a beautiful natural wavy texture!

Instant Hair Texture Tricks

Instant Hair Texture Tricks

Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo, i.e. the holy grail of hair extension products is a great way to create texture in your extensions and natural hair! We absolutely love dry shampoo for giving your hair instant volume and beautiful texture. While many use dry shampoo on those busy or lazy days you don’t have time to wash your hair, we also recommend it on clean hair as a great way to create texture, volume and give your hair life on its most uninspiring days!

Hair Chalk

Hair chalk is another great and super fun way to add texture into your hair. Create depth and variety with coloured hair chalk. We love coloured hair chalks that can be added to any hair for instant and temporary colours. Whether you’re getting into character for an amazing costume, adding something crazy to your hair for a festival or trying out a colour for fun, we think hair chalk is the perfect idea! It is important to wash this product out of any extensions after use however as extended presence on the hair cuticle may cause dryness.

Braiding

For gorgeous, natural looking wavy texture, we love how effortless effortless texture can be added just by braiding your hair and extensions! Do this when wet, allowing your braids to dry. Once dry, unravel your braids for body and texture in your hair. This is a totally non damaging way to add texture to your hair and can be done before bed – this is the ultimate no fuss styling tip.

Sea Salt Spray

Seal salt spray is another great way to add in texture to your hair. It gives your hair that beautiful beachy look you long for after summer ends! Sea Salt Spray can easily be sprayed into your hair. We would recommend ‘scrunching’ each section after it is sprayed to create a textured look. It’s important to wash any sea salt spray out after use as it may dry out your hair or extensions. We would recommend using our Revive Me Hair Treatment after adding a sea salt spray to restore moisture and get your locks feeling silky smooth again!
