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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Dry Hair Hacks

Is your hair prone to dryness? Read on as we explore some Dry Hair Hacks and what you can do to help bring some life back into your hair.

Prevention is the first step to success. Using a heat protecting treatment is essential to ensure your hair lasts countless styling sessions with hot styling tools. Using a heat protectant treatment helps acts as a barrier to your hair before styling by protecting against the harsh heat of your styling tools. Heat protectant treatment is also a great aid for the sunnier seasons as some contain UV blocking particles.

Dry Hair Hacks Styling your hair using low heat settings on heat styling tools will help prevent any severe damage to your hair. Hair can be styled well with tools that are as little as 90 Degrees Celsius, so try to avoid soaring temperatures of 210 Degrees Celsius.

Have you heard the great news? We have launched our own Hair Extension Treatment! ZALA Revive Me Hair Extension Treatment is the perfect solution to maintaining soft and smooth hair and extensions. After washing your hair, spray and spread throughout your hair and extensions and let air dry. Style as per normal and you will be able to tell a significant difference in feel and look of your hair!

Dry Hair Hacks Treating your hair with coconut oil regularly will help add some smoothness and shine to your hair. Coconut oil is rich in Hyaluronic Acid which encourages collagen production and can assist with adding hydration to your hair.
