Catwalk Ponytail

This iconic updo that Pierre Balmain made a classic in the 1970s continues to be a common factor in the Maison's fashion shows.

For the perfect finish, we recommend having a soft-bristled brush and a medium-hold spray such as Balmain Hair Couture Session Spray Medium to hand to spray on the temples, sideburns and nape of the neck. Then we brush well, we take the ponytail and we secure it with a hook rubber to make sure that it does not move from its place. The Catwalk Ponytail piece incorporates an ultra-comfortable fixing system that is shaped like a hidden comb that must be placed on the previously fixed elastic. The piece also incorporates a thin strand of hair with a Velcro strip attached behind it that hides the elastic and gives the final touch to the most famous ponytail on the catwalk.

It swept the nineties and this summer it does it again. The nineties ponytail, a more than comfortable updo. There are many updos that you can do, but none as easy as this type of ponytail that many famous influencers made fashionable in the nineties and that is now back in fashion. Lola Indigo or the Kardashian sisters are true addicts to it.

But no matter how easy it may seem, it is not always easy for it to look good on us. We tell you this expert trick to make a rejuvenating ponytail with a lifting effect, with a detail that Queen Letizia also usually wears, a lock of hair as a rubber band. Pierre Balmain already made it fashionable in the seventies and now it's back.

We tell you how to do it in ten minutes yourself. The stylist Omar El Garbawy explains the importance of extensions for a spectacular effect and recommends having a natural bristle brush and a medium hold spray on hand so that our ponytail lasts longer.

The first step is to brush the Catwalk Ponytail very well and fix it with an elastic band so that it does not move from its place. Then cup the hair with your fingers where you want to add more volume and line the elastic with a lock of hair. Finally, apply the fixative spray on the temples, sideburns and neck so that the hairs do not escape.

If you finally opt for the extensions, you must fix the false piece with a fixing system in the form of a hidden comb that they usually carry and that must be placed on the previously fixed rubber band.

The finish depends on what you like the most, you can wear it completely straight, with very open waves or even make a low ponytail with the same system.

And if you have curly hair, the high ponytail will especially favor you by allowing you to show off your cascading curls. It will also serve you for informal but also elegant looks. The key for it to be ideal is that your hair is very hydrated so that the curls maintain their shape.

A variant is the ponytail with mini braids, as simple as making a half-height ponytail with the front part with mini braids. Another option is the half ponytail, which allows you to keep your face clear, but showing off your curls, as well as being a very stylish hairstyle.
