10. The High Cheer-Style Ponytail

What This Idea Means

Perky, energetic, and clean, the High Cheer-Style Ponytail sits right on top of the crown. It creates an instant lifting effect for your features and stays neat all day long.

How to Make It

  1. Tilt your head backward slightly to help sweep all hair smoothly toward the crown.
  2. Brush all hair upward from the nape of the neck and sides, using a boar bristle brush to eliminate bumps.
  3. Hold the high ponytail tightly at the crown and secure it with a heavy-duty, non-slip hair tie.
  4. Take a small section of hair from the pony, wrap it around the tie to hide it, and pin it underneath.
  5. Lightly fan out the pony tail for maximum bounce and fullness.

Tips and Variations

  • Tips: Use a boar bristle brush to smooth down any stubborn bumps along the underside near the neck.
  • Variations: Pair with a oversized fabric scrunchie or athletic hair bow for a bold school-spirit look.
