Messy Ponytail/Bun

I used to say ponytails meant defeat. They meant “I surrender hair. You will do what you want.” But as I’ve gotten my hair a bit longer, I’ve enjoyed wearing a ponytail!

::::gasp::::

So here is a tutorial for one of my favorite ways to wear my hair. My husband loves my hair both in a ponytail and in what he calls “the explosion” (aka messy bun)!

*the clear rubber bands I use are Conair Poly Bands.

**you will have greater success with curled/curly hair. Here is the tutorial for curling your hair. You may get a similar effect with straight hair, but probably with less volume.
