HOW TO CREATE A HALF-UP PONYTAIL WITH DEFINED CURLS
For a fierce yet chic style with tons of volume, create this statement curly half-up ponytail look.
Tie up the top section of your hair into a sleek pony with an elastic and set with the ghd perfect ending - final fix hairspray. Mist the hair with the ghd curly ever after - curl hold spray for added heat protection and to prolong your style. Transform your tresses using the ghd curve® thin wand to create ultra-defined curls throughout. Turn up the volume by alternating the direction of each curl as you work across the sections of your hair.
Wrap a strand of hair around the base of the pony for a polished look. Complete your hairstyle with the ghd dramatic ending - smooth & finish serum for a silky finish that doesn't weigh down your hair.
