Not Just Tying It Up! Key Tips for Creating a Trendy Ponytail You Want to Share with Hairstylists＊

I Want a Cute, Fluffy Ponytail! ♡

When it comes to popular bridal hairstyles for brides, there are various styles like elegant chignons, half-up styles with a princess vibe, braided hairstyles with plenty of flowers, and Rapunzel-inspired arrangements. However,

we must not forget that the timeless favorite hairstyle is still the 'ponytail'!♩

A fluffy ponytail tied neatly feels very feminine,

and with the nape of the neck visible, it offers a refreshing look around the face while adding a touch of sexiness!♡

It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s the No. 1 hairstyle in terms of popularity with boyfriends and family alike◎

《Caution》If Not Done Right, a Ponytail Can Look Too Casual...?!

The popular ponytail for weddings is a stylish, effortlessly fluffy one.

However, if you simply tell your hair and makeup artist, “Please do a ponytail,” it might end up looking flat,

resembling a casual ponytail you might wear while cooking at home or lounging around—totally lacking in elegance ＞＜

While a well-versed stylist should understand that “ponytail = fluffy ponytail,” there are those who may interpret it as “ponytail = a neatly tied ponytail,” so it’s not unusual.

Therefore, it's key to convey your ideal clearly, saying “I want a ponytail like this!” instead of simply saying “ponytail.” ◎

However, expressing a vibe with words can be really tough, especially when speaking to a professional as a novice...

How can you request to convey the trendy ponytail vibe? Here are some points to keep in mind when asking a hair and makeup artist for your desired look!♩

Trendy Ponytail Tip ① Start with a Base of Wavy Beach Hair＊

The main tip to achieve a modern ponytail is to begin by curling your hair into soft waves.＊

Just by creating a base wave, you’ll get closer to a trendy, naturally cute ponytail! ◎

When creating waves, use a straightening iron instead of a curling iron, moving it side to side to create the waves.＊

If your hair and makeup artist isn’t familiar with beach waves, you can show them this video to help them understand how to create it. ♡

Just showing the stylist a photo of the final look may not guarantee they will create the same hairstyle.

If your stylist seems unsure about beach waves, it's recommended to explain how to create them thoroughly. They should comprehend the steps and key points after watching the method video.

Trendy Ponytail Tip ② Fluff Up the Top ♡

The next key point for the ponytail is to add volume at the top! ♡

If you simply gather the top hair flat and tight, it can give a stiff and serious look.

To achieve a fluffy ponytail, it’s essential to pull out strands of hair from the top and let some air in. ◎

Let them know that it should look fluffy from the front, similar to a foreign-style ponytail! ♩

Trendy Ponytail Tip ③ Hide the Hair Tie!

Another important point is to hide the ponytail's tie. ◎

If the hair tie is visible, it can create a youthful impression that can come off as lacking sophistication…!

Therefore, wrap a strand of hair around the tie to conceal it ♩

These days, many hair and makeup artists are mindful of this without being told, but it’s good to verify for yourself to ensure the rubber band isn’t showing before adding any accessories. ◎

Trendy Ponytail Tip ④ Add Accessories for Extra Glamour ♡

Finally, the last tip is to add accessories to enhance the glamour! ◎

Of course, a ponytail can look cute with no accessories at all, but at a wedding, the bride is the star.

Since a ponytail is a hairstyle worn daily, you will want it to look particularly glamorous on your special day! ♩

A classic choice is to add flowers as accessories ♡ This will give a lovely ambiance! ♩

Sparkly hair accessories can also add a mature charm.＊

It’s best to place them near the tie or on the left side of the head (as brides typically stand on the left side of the groom, accessories are often placed on the left). ◎

Also, instead of hair accessories, wearing larger earrings or a necklace is recommended ♩

They may not be visible from the back, but wearing earrings or a necklace will add a fabulous touch from the front! ◎
