Long side ponytails are being seen everywhere this year. From the runways of New York City’s Fashion Week, at celebrity weddings, and not to mention all the Hollywood red carpet events and award shows. They are a beautiful way to wear your hair in a more formal manner without looking too uptight. They are super sexy because they have a lot of movement and styling options.

Ashley Tisdale’s Formal Side Ponytail

This is a more conservative side ponytail that is soft and sexy. It is the perfect side pony for any occasion.



How To Style:
Start with clean dry hair with a base product already in your hair. Such as styling lotion or thickening spray. You will then want to set your hair with hot rollers, or a curling iron. This is to create the volume at the top of your hair and the sleek waves in the pony. Section off the top and front of your hair, from the back of your hair with clips. Backcomb , hairspray, and smooth the sides and top of your hair over the backcombing for sleek volume. Gently pull all your hair softly back and off to the side into a soft side pony. You can then use a strand of hair to cover any type of hair tie you may have used to secure your hair. You can do this by taking the hair and wrapping it around the base of the pony as if it were a ribbon, then secure with bobby pins. Finish off with Classic Hairspray for super hold and a few shots of spray shine and off you go.

Best Hair Type:
This side pony looks and works best with finer hair. It helps if the hair is a bit wavy or a little more on the straight side.
Tip: Always start by blow drying your hair with base products. This is to prep your hair to be put up into a special occasion style. Play with the hair until you like it . It is like creating a moving sculpture. Adjust it until you think it’s pretty, and you like the way you look. And then hair spray it heavily so it stays all day or night through any event.
