The Ponytail - the summer style we heart




Ponytails are back. Yes ladies, they are not only acceptable for the gym, housework or those lazy Sundays anymore. The ponytail is a chic summer style that is here to stay.


From super sleek to naturally messy, here is a guide to ways to wear yours.

Jennifer Aniston's naturally wavy ponytail is loosely pulled back and looks effortless (the secret is that it's not completely effortless). Recreate this look by leaving the hair to dry naturally or scrunch with some Whipped Cream by Sebastian then dry with a diffuser. Loosely pull hair back and secure using a covered hair band. Don't be afraid of any bumps or stray strands. This style is supposed to look undone. Finish with some Shine and Define by Sebastian to bring out natural wave in the ponytail yet still give a polished finish.



If you want to create a sleek, pulled back look like Kim Kardashian – blow dry hair smooth using Flat Iron Spray by Wella High Hair then run some Cloud 9 Straightening Irons over it for an extra smooth finish.


Slick the hair back into a high ponytail and secure tightly. To add extra gloss and smooth any flyaway hairs then apply Wella's Gloss On for extra diamond shine.









Queen of Boho Nicole Ritchie has gone for a cute side sweeping pony. To recreate this beachy style, after blow drying with a round brush to achieve volume, part the hair to the side using your Cloud 9 irons, add a wave to the mid lengths and ends. (Ask you stylist for tips on how to do this next time you are in the salon).


If you want extra volume through the crown, gently backcomb this area then sweep hair over to the side and secure with a covered hair band. Then take a small section of hair and wrap around the hair band. Pin this at the back and finish with a spritz of Halo Mist by Sebastian for hold and shine.
