How to do a wrapped ponytail in seconds flat
DIY hair wrap
Curl it
Pull a lock of hair, wide enough to cover the elastic, from the base of your ponytail and curl it.
Twist it
Wrap the curled hair around the ponytail carefully but as tightly as possible.
Fasten it
Secure the loose end with a bobby pin. Cody's Tip: Bend the bobby pin slightly. A curved pin is more secure and easier to hide in your hair.
Rock it
Spritz with your favourite hairspray to finish off the look and amp up the shine.
