Achieving a sleek, stylish ponytail on natural hair can be easy with the right techniques and products. Follow these steps to ensure your ponytail is smooth, frizz-free, and perfectly styled.
STEP 1: GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES
Start by grabbing your BB Foam Moisturizing Wrapping Lotion, ideal for styling ponytails on natural hair. Dispense a golf ball-sized amount of the foam into your palm and rub your hands together to distribute it evenly.
- Recommended Product: BB Foam Wrap Lotion - This foam gives your ponytail a more dynamic look while keeping it frizz-free and shiny. It’s perfect for styling and maintaining sleek ponytails on natural hair.
STEP 2: APPLY THE FOAM
Focus on the roots and mid-lengths, using your fingers to evenly distribute the product across the perimeter of your hair for smooth ponytail styles. This step ensures that your ponytail stays sleek and controlled.
STEP 3: SMOOTH & SECURE
Use a comb or brush to smooth out any bumps, frizz, or flyaways, bringing all your hair back into the base of the ponytail. This helps to achieve a polished and sleek ponytail look.
STEP 4: LAY YOUR EDGES
Use an edge brush or an unused toothbrush to smooth and swoop your edges to the desired look. Perfectly laid edges enhance the overall appearance of your ponytail style.
STEP 5: SETTING THE STYLE
Wait one to two minutes for the product to set. Then, wrap a clean scarf around the ponytail to maintain the style and reduce frizz. Leave the scarf on for 10 minutes to secure your perfect ponytail. This step is crucial for keeping your ponytail in place and looking sleek throughout the day.
