THE HACK TO GETTING YOUR SLEEK BACK PONYTAIL IN THE RIGHT PLACE
for example, on days you are not up for the low bun situation, there’s a hack to getting the bun in a perfect position that suits your face. It is using your cheekbones as a guide. With both index fingers, draw a line starting from the middle of your cheekbone and trace your way up to the point over your head where the line leads you. Yes, that point is the perfect place to have your ponytail for your face shape.
3. Make sure your hair is properly detangled. Do you know why? It is because tangles create small and maybe large knots which create bumps. You do not want tangles creating these bumps. This will ruin the sleekness of your sleek back ponytail.
4. Start on damp hair. It is easier for damp hair to absorb the gel. Also, you would use as much gel as possible if your hair was not damp. So if you are doing a sleek back ponytail right after washday, you would have to towel dry your hair properly. We don’t want to work with soaking wet hair. and if you are doing this on a non-washday, you might just want to grab your spray water bottle and spray some water on your hair to make it damp.
5. Make sure you scarf it. Do not skip this step this step is helpful because it tames the fly-away and simply makes the look of your sleek back ponytail smooth. This step also speeds the drying process.
