Exp-HAIR-imenting: One HC Intern's Attempt to Create a New Hairstyle Every Day of the Week Part-4
Now don't get me wrong, I do take showers. But today was one of those days when I simply didn't have time to wash my hair and the grease factor was getting a little too gross to handle. Enter in the chic ponytail!
I was really excited when Nikki taught me this style in particular, because I often try to look sophisticated with my hair in the ponytail, and always end up looking like a sloppy mess. But by creating a subtle part and dividing my hair into 3 sections (back, right and left), I was able to finally achieve (or at least come close to achieving) that casual elegance I desired. First, I pulled my hair in back into a low ponytail. Then, I twisted the right-hand section of hair around the elastic and secured it with a pin and repeated this step with the left section. This look was fairly simple and didn't take long, but it definitely took me a couple tries to get the hair wrapped around the elastic—those bobby pins are tricky little buggers!

Level of Difficulty: Moderate
Products and Tools:
- Bobby Pins (about 4]
- Elastic Band

What I Wore: Today I interned in the HC office and headed to school afterwards. I needed to look professional and stylish, but still comfortable during my 10am-10pm workday. I love this look because the sequined bow on the vest adds a flash of glamour, while the white button-down keeps the ensemble crisp and professional. I also wore my pearl drop earrings, which looked great with the ponytail!
Trick of the Trade: Nikki says teasing your hair at the crown of your head beforehand will give the ponytail extra volume and flare.
