"Once upon a time, my method of getting a pompadour-ish ponytail like you see here on actress Emmanuelle Chriqui was to toss it all up and pull the top loose while keeping my fingers crossed that it would all stay symmetrical. Then, inevitably, I&amp;#x27;d end up redoing it 40 million times thanks to a wonky lump or two. Not anymore. Ladies, I&amp;#x27;m about to tell you a much easier way to pull this look off...What you do is divide your hair into two parts (top and bottom) and pull the bottom part into a high, tight ponytail and secure with a regular elastic band. Then backcomb the top part, smooth out it and then brush it back loosely to meet the pony you already created. But then here&amp;#x27;s another key: Instead of using a regular round ponytail holder, wrap a bungee cord with hooks on the end around and secure the hooks so it holds the whole thing tight. This is key because pulling it through a band can deflate all that volume and cause the lumpiness. And if want to hide your little secret, just wrap a piece of hair around the band, pin it underneath and you&amp;#x27;re good to go. Have any of you guys ever tried this before? Have another tip to getting this look? Going to run out and buy some bungees today? And psst...anyone looking for more fun ponytail looks, click here. Get Glamour Wherever You Go!
