STEP-BY-STEPS
Step one
Using separated fingers, ‘rake’ the hair to the opposite side of your parting. Flip the hair to the opposite side to create a deep side parting. Using an elastic, tie the hair in a low side ponytail.
TIP: Not using a brush will keep the undone texture – this is key to this look and will maintain the volume!
Step two
Split the ponytail and braid into three braids.
Step three
Gently, press the ghd gold 1" styler over the braid to seal in the style with the help of the heat.
Step four
Undo the braid and release to reveal a soft modern texture throughout the hair. Then, gather the hair in a low side ponytail behind the ear and tie with an elastic..
Step five
Tie another elastic around 2 inches lower from the original ponytail hairstyle. Repeat this down the ponytail until you reach the end of your hair.
Step six
Starting at the top, loosen the pom poms into round textured balls.
Tip: Doing a small stretch on each one in turn will be better than working one by one.
Step seven
Finish with colored elastics to showcase your individuality and add a pop of color.
