Make a Sophisticated Ponytail

How to make a Stylish Ponytail for your romantic evening. It's very easy and extremely sexual hairdo.

Whether you are off to work or a night on the town, scooping your hair up in a ponytail can give you a stylish hairdo - as long as it does not echo your playground days. See how to make your ponytail sophisticated, not sophomoric.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE HAIRSTYLE OF THE WINTER -2008-2009. PONYTAILS and lBACKCOMBING.

Backcombing is extremely popular trend this season. Ponytail is the second fashionable trend. Now if you mix up these two trends you will get the perfect hairdo.

How to make a fashionable ponytail.
- Gather your hair in your left hand (the one you don't write with; if your dominant hand is left, then reverse the instructions that follow using your right hand). Whether you use a hairbrush or just both of your hands to gather the hair is up to you. Hold it at the base (close to the scalp) in the position you are going to want it to be fastened. If you want a high ponytail, some people prefer to bend over and let their hair hang down when gathering their hair.

- Use a hairbrush to smooth it from your hairline to the base of the ponytail until it looks neat. It may help to sprinkle the brush with water or spritz it with hairspray. This step is not necessary, especially if you are in a hurry, or you are deliberately going for the messy look.

- On the right hand, stretch the hair tie/band over three of your fingers: thumb, index, and middle.

- Grab the ponytail with those three fingers and let go of it with the left hand.
- Hook your left index finger over the band (where it stretches between your index finger and thumb) and pull it over the ponytail. Keep the band stretched and simultaneously pull the rest of the ponytail through the band with your right hand.

- Twist the hair band with your left hand, fit three fingers through the loop you just made, and repeat the previous two steps (pull the band over the ponytail with the index finger of the opposite hand, then pull the rest of the ponytail through).
- Continue until there is no remaining part of the band that is wrapped around the ponytail.
- Experiment with different styles.

Haircuts for Thick Coarse Hair

When you are looking for a new hairstyle you should always start with knowing your hair texture. A hair texture that is thick and coarse will style differently than a hair texture that is thin.

One of the many tricks that hair stylists use for thick and coarse hair is to get a shorter style that has lots of layering. Layers help the hair to lay smoothly without the bulk.

Be sure to apply a smoothing serum or de-frizz product to damp hair before blow drying. Always point the nozzle of the blow dry down along the hair shaft as you dry. Another great tip is to blast your hair with cold air after you are finished blow-drying. The cold air helps to close the cuticle, locking out any frizziness.

Celebrity Hairstyles and Your Hair

Do you ever see a celebrity hairstyle in a magazine and think to yourself 'I want to get that hairstyle'?

Before you run off to your stylist with celebrity photo in hand, you need to do a little pre-salon evaluation. First, what type of hair texture does this celebrity have? Is her hair thick, thin or somewhere in between? Next, what is the face shape of this celebrity? Is it anywhere close to your face shape?

These are 2 very important factors that can make or break your celebrity hairstyle. If you have thick hair and select a hairstyle that is designed for thin hair, you are asking for trouble. Some stylists consider the hair texture to be the most important consideration for a new hairstyle and face shape is second.

Another important factor that you should always be thinking about is the circumstances surrounding celebrities today. They usually have a full time stylist that does their hair every day--which is why you see them always looking so fabulous. Do you have time every morning to do all the styling required to achieve the same results? Sometimes you might not be able to achieve these results---leaving you with bad hair days and dissapointments.

The best thing that you can do if you are thinking about a major hairstyle change is to try out the style using hairstyle imaging software. Check out the link below to see how easy it is to upload a photo of yourself and try on many different hairstyles. For each style that you try on there is also detailed styling instructions and info on what type of hair and face shape the styles are suited for.
