"Most of the time, I wear my blunt bangs straight, and wave the rest of my hair for a soft, beachy look. My hair is super-straight and if I just leave it as it dries, it looks too flat and boring unless I blow dry and straighten with a flat iron to give my hair some sort of volume. I try to stick with hairstyles that work best for my face shape, but wearing it down and wavy everyday can sometimes get a little dull.\nSo, when I&amp;#39;m hardly feeling like getting into my &amp;quot;everyday&amp;quot; hairstyle, I try new things with my hair. I usually like easy styles that don&amp;#39;t require a lot of time and product. Ponytails are always a favorite of mine; they&amp;#39;re classic and easy to do! Here I show you how I do mine with an added twist: wave your loose strands for a prettier look!\nWhat You Need:\n\nBobby pins\n\n\nOne elastic hair band\n\n\nFlat comb (the closer the teeth the better)\n\n\nSmoothing creme; I use John Frieda Collection&amp;#39;s Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme (you can purchase at any drug store/supermarket)\n\n\nCurling iron\n\n\nTexturizing spray; I use Bumble &amp;amp; Bumble&amp;#39;s Surf spray (this product is not necessary, though)\n\nPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookHow-To: Approximate time: 7 mins\n\nDab a good amount of smoothing creme onto the palm of your hands and gently comb the top part of your hair back. This will help smooth away frizz and it will keep it sleek and straight.\n\n\nNext, gather all of your hair and hold it up to where you want your ponytail to be.\n\n\nOnce you have your hair in place and at the height where you want it, bring out your flat comb and comb out all the frizz and bumps; this will help give you a smooth, sleek top.\n\n\nThen, you hold the ponytail tight while with one hand you tighten it with your elastic band.\n\n\nAdd bobby pins to any left strands/baby hair that you might have left out (this includes the back of your ponytail). Also, grab a strand of you hair and twirl it around the elastic band to cover it and pin it to stay; this way it looks as if though your hair is the one holding up your ponytail, plus it adds instant prettiness!\n\n\nLastly, to add a fancy twist to your ponytail, wave your loose strands of hair! Start at the top of the ponytail and work yourself downward with each strand. This will add texture and volume to your ponytail. I added the Surf Spray to my wavey locks to give it fullness and shine!\n\n*Bonus: Add some pretty chandelier earrings to finish off the look! Looks fancier!\n__What do you do to change your hair routine?\n__\nPhotos: Temoc Gonzalez"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
