Half-Up High Pony + Voluminous Curls

STEPS

1. 1
   

   Take a 1-inch section and prep the hair with Moroccanoil® Perfect Defense, then pinch and wrap around a 3/4-inch barrel. Let it cool, unravel and slightly pull on the hair before releasing it for a wavy effect. Mist Moroccanoil® Luminous Strong Hold Hairspray.

2. 2
   

   Repeat until the hair is completely curled. Then, apply Moroccanoil® Dry Texture Spray and expand the curls using your fingers.

3. 3
   

   Create a middle part and take a large horizontal parting at the crown, clipping away the two front quadrants.

4. 4
   
5. 5
   

   Starting at the crown on the left quadrant, take diagonal back 3/4-inch sections and generously apply Luminous Strong Hold Hairspray.

6. 6
   

   Use the Moroccanoil® Teasing Brush with tension at the root and direct the hair toward the crown and into your hand. Continue this technique until you reach the hairline. 

7. 7
   

   For the last section around the ear, lightly mist with Luminous Strong Hairspray to avoid looking more wet than sleek. Then, repeat this technique on the opposite side.

8. 8
   

   Gather all of the hair with tension at the crown and secure tightly with a bungee at the base.

9. 9
   

   HAIR SECRET: After the ponytail is secured at the base, move up another inch and secure with a cord for instant lift additional height.

10. 10
    

    Want to take the pony even higher? Continue working up the hair and tie off between 1-inch sections until desired height is achieved.

11. 11
    

    Take a section of hair and smooth it out using a Moroccanoil® Teasing Brush. Apply Luminous Strong Hold Hairspray and wrap the hair around to cover the ties and tuck in to secure, or use a hair pin to secure at the base.

12. 12
    

    Finish the look by applying Luminous Strong Hold Hairspray and expanding the curls with a brush and comb.
