100 Degree Hottie: Pumped Up Pony

100 Degree Hottie: Pumped Up Pony

Today's hairstyle, featured on my cousin Katey's head.

Excuse her roots- she's a busy, independent woman and she ain't go NO time for lightener. 

The breakdown:

-Incredibly easy style.

-Takes about 5 minutes if you opt to do braids.

-Messier=better

-Switch out the braids for a slicked back pony for something more "professional"

OK HERE WE GO:

Step 1: Add your products. I used dry shampoo and a tiny bit of sculpting foam on dry hair (YEAH FOAM ON DRY HAIR, I WENT THERE.)

Step 2: Pull your bangs back. I used a rubber band at first, then switched to pins. It doesn't matter which way you do it honestly. You don't even need to pin your bangs if they're long enough to get to the pony.

Step 3: Throw some braids in there. I don't care where you put them- that's for you to decide. I did mine on the sides.

Step 4: Put the whole damn thing in a pony.

Step 5: Ever see those ponies that look so damn high they make Barbie jealous? Here's the trick-

Cut your pony in half.

With a hairpin or bobby pin, stick the pin in at an upward angle, then once it's touching the scalp, flip it and push the bobby pin downward. It grabs a little hair from the top and forces the pony to stand up higher.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Step 6: Curl the pony, straighten the pony, braid the pony, tease the pony- I don't care, do as you wish!

I will say with this style, the messier the better. I don't know why.
