Nice Lengths Ambassador, Marc Mena, explains that there are a ton of the way to tie a ponytail that prioritize quantity. “One of my favorite options is the high, fluffy ponytail,” he says. “This is a teased high pony with a bit of wave and a strand wrapped around the base. But I’m also a fan of the low, tousled ponytail, which is slightly messy, and parted at the crown with texture and volume.”
Based on movie star hair stylist and creator of Kim Kimble Hair Assortment by HairUWear, Kim Kimble, the double-pony is a straightforward hack for a extra voluminous ponytail. “When you gather your ponytail, tease the hair to add body,” she explains. “A great technique to use is a ‘double ponytail,’ which is two stacked ponytails (one on top of the other), and blend them together. It instantly makes your pony look longer and fuller.”
“To tie off the ponytail, I usually use a bungee hooked ponytail holder or a simple elastic that I wrap around the base with some help,” provides movie star hairstylist and John Frieda Haircare ambassador, DJ Quintero.
