Messy Ponytail Hairstyles

Messy Ponytail Hairstyles - For women with curly hair, styling your hair into a ponytail can save you time as well as help you create an eye-catching hairstyle.  When styling a curly ponytail you will need to consider what type of hair texture is being used.  Is it fine, thick, straight, or naturally curly or wavy?   Once you determine the hair type then you can set about styling the pony tail.  You can choose if you want small curls, tight curls, big curls, or loose softer curls 

If you have straight hair you will need to curl your hair first.  This can be done by using a curling iron or hot rollers.  Once this step is finished you can then pull your hair back and put it in a ponytail.  Be sure to keep the pony tail tight so that it holds all day.  If you have thick hair you can also achieve curls by using hot rollers or a curling iron and can style your ponytail a little bit loosely so that the hair appears to be softer and not such a severe hairstyle.

Of course if you have naturally curly hair achieving the ponytail will be simple.  You can try various positions for your ponytail.  You may choose to have a high ponytail which will give a nice sleek style.  Or you may choose a loose lower ponytail which is a great casual look.  Both of which can be created in seconds.

Some women may wish to take advantage of hair extensions which will enhance the thickness of their ponytail.  But be sure to practice if done incorrectly these extensions can look unnatural and disproportionate.  As always have fun experimenting and find the ponytail that is right for you.
