Brush out your hair thoroughly. Make sure you don't have any tangles in your hair.
Backcomb the roots gently with a brush.
Gather your hair into a ponytail. Hold the hair in place at the back with one hand.
Secure the ponytail in place with an elastic band. Pull the band around your ponytail onto the crown of your head. Twist the band into a figure 8 and pull the new loop back through your hair. Repeat this until the hair tie is tight enough that it stays put.
To look extra nice, take a small section of hair from the bottom of your ponytail and carefully wrap it around the elastic. Secure it with a bobby pin running along the bottom of the hair tie to completely disguise it.[6]
