If you have straight hair you will need to curl your hair first.  This can be done by using a curling iron or hot rollers.  Once this step is finished you can then pull your hair back and put it in a ponytail.  Be sure to keep the pony tail tight so that it holds all day.  If you have thick hair you can also achieve curls by using hot rollers or a curling iron and can style your ponytail a little bit loosely so that the hair appears to be softer and not such a severe hairstyle.

Of course if you have naturally curly hair achieving the ponytail will be simple.  You can try various positions for your ponytail.  You may choose to have a high ponytail which will give a nice sleek style.  Or you may choose a loose lower ponytail which is a great casual look.  Both of which can be created in seconds.

Some women may wish to take advantage of hair extensions which will enhance the thickness of their ponytail.  But be sure to practice if done incorrectly these extensions can look unnatural and disproportionate.  As always have fun experimenting and find the ponytail that is right for you.

There are many reasons why girls put their hair up: to keep their hair out of their face, they ran out of time to style it, to look nice or have a formal hair style such as, a wedding, prom or dance hairstyle. There are a few hair up dos you can do from home.

• The classic ponytail is the most popular style to put your hair up. The main reason for this style is to keep the hair out of the girls face, for sports or because she does not want to mess with styling her hair right then. It is easy to do, by sweeping all of your hair to the back of your head as high on your head as you want and then securing it in place with an elastic band of some type.
• A loose bun is not as popular but it’s a hairstyle women tend to wear when they are in the mood to relax. All you do is put your hair up in a ponytail like before but twist it into a loose bun and add a head band to have your casual, relaxed hairstyle.
• The last style would be a more formal hair updo. Usually this is done with help from a professional stylist, a friend or family member and sometimes takes longer to finish. You pull your hair back and put a bump in your hair on the top of the head, while sweeping it back into a clip. You will have to use some kind of product such as, hairspray to hold this style in place. There are accessories you can buy such as ‘Bump-its’ to help keep your hair in place.

Another style would be to add to the existing ponytail by adding the French braid, which is like the normal braid but only starting at the top of your head.
