The high, super smooth ponytail is all the rage, even on red carpets. Making it flawless isn't easy, but thanks to the steps outlined in this article you can get a flawless result.
Steps
Step 1. Brush your hair to remove all knots
Don't be in a hurry and be sure to untie even the smallest ones. Finally brush all the hair back towards the nape of the neck.
Step 2. Gather the hair in the non-dominant hand
At this point, brush the ones at the nape of the neck towards the ceiling to bring the tail as high as you can.
Step 3. Make sure the hair is perfectly straight on all sides of the head
Once you reach the optimal height, grab the ponytail from underneath with your non-dominant hand, then use the other to brush your hair back so it is flat, smooth and neat.
Step 4. After using the brush, switch to the comb to perfect the job
Step 5. It is time to tie the tail with the rubber band
Step 6. If you do not have perfectly straight hair by nature, it is advisable to straighten it first
