7 Secrets to Getting Flawless Skin!

Warm weather prompts us to pull our hair up and off of our shoulders-- but a slicked back ponytail can get boring when worn every day. To learn how to add a little bit of volume to your pony, Angela Soto from Mizu New York illustrates her technique below.

Step 1 (above):
Apply a soft cream or pomade with your fingers for a natural texture throughout your hair. Angela recommends using Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine and/or Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax.

Step 2:


Starting at the front of your head and working towards the crown, gather the front section of hair so you have an inverted v-shape. If you have bangs, leave them out. Clip this section of hair aside.

Step 3:


Leaving out the front v-section, swoop the rest of your hair into a high ponytail. To keep a soft, natural look to the hair, use your fingers or a comb to collect the hair.

Step 4:


Working with the front section previously held aside, divide into three horizontal sections. Spray a light, flexible hairspray onto the front most section of hair. Angela's using Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode.

Step 5:


Using a big barrel curling iron, curl the section of hair back off the face-- turning the barrel away from the forehead. Secure the curl with a clip.

Step 6:



Repeat steps on the remaining two sections of hair.

Step 7:


Once the curls have cooled, remove the pins and comb the sections together to form one big curl using a boar bristle brush.

Step 8:


After pulling the section towards the back of the head, push the hair forward to create a little poof. Pin in place with a bobby pin. If any length remains from the front section after pinning it back, wrap it around the base of your ponytail to hide the ponytail holder.

Step 9:


Finish with hairspray!
