CURLY PONYTAIL

‘Tis the season to be glitzy! This Curly Ponytail is the perfect compromise for when you can’t decide between an up-do or down-do. Voluptuous and textured at the back, yet swept clean off the face, this style will keep you cool and ready to Jingle Bell rock the night away!

After creating curls with the ghd curve® creative curl wand, pull the hair back into a low on-trend pony. Leaving some hair loose at the front will frame the face and add to this ‘mid-way’ look. Perfect for winter walks or parties alike, accessorise with some beads or pins for an extra festive look.

Because if you can’t thread your hair with gold beads at Christmas, when can you? Follow our easy guide to achieve Curly Ponytail perfect at home.
