The look in one line

A mid-height ponytail with elastics every few centimetres, each section pulled into a bubble.

Steps

  1. Brush your hair back into a ponytail at the back of your head.
  2. Tie a small elastic 3 to 5 cm below the first.
  3. Gently pull the hair between the two elastics outwards into a bubble.
  4. Repeat down the length, leaving the ends free.
  5. Mist with strong hairspray.
  6. If a bubble looks flat, loosen it a little more by pulling its edges.
