The summer months are all about showing off your natural beauty and there’s no better way to show off your beautiful face than with a slick pulled-back style that goes with everything in your closet and inside your makeup bag. You can wear a couture ponytail to the gym in the morning, with a chic, sophisticated ensemble to work and even out at night for a fancy cocktail party or high-end restaurant.

Step 1. If you have fine or thin hair, apply a texturing product to your hair like Bumble and Bumble Prep and Alterna Summer Hair Ocean Waves Texturizing Spray.

Step 2. Blow dry and/or flat iron your hair straight.

Step 3. Choose whether you want a side, middle or no part.

Step 4. Bush hair flat and back into a ponytail.

Step 5. Secure your pony with an elastic band. Use a band that’s thin enough to not be noticeable, but not too thin that it resembles a rubber band because that will weaken the strands around the area you tie it on. You can even take a few strands of hair and wrap it around the tie to disguise it.

Step 6. Smooth edges with a pomade.

Step 7. Finish with a light holding spray.

Accentuate your features like contouring your cheekbones with bronzer and wearing a pair of falsies (for nighttime) since this style is designed to flaunt your gorgeous face.

And remember, if your hair isn’t long enough to fit into a ponytail with an elastic tie, you can do the same style with a sleek bun. You can also wrap a few extensions around your pony to give it length and/or volume.

Love,
Your Fast Lane Girl, Amber
