You know those days when you feel like doing absolutely nothing? You’re tired, you’re overheated, you’re just downright grumpy; the perfect day would consist of little more than wallowing on the couch. And then to make matters worse, your schedule, utterly OBLIVIOUS to the fact your mood is better suited to being fanned with palm fronds and hand-fed grapes, is telling you you actually have to go somewhere? And look put together for the occasion?! What a nightmare.
Fortunately, this glam pony is meant for precisely those days. It’s quick, fuss-free, and leaves you looking oh-so polished and totally not like you’re showing up begrudgingly.
This style is perfect for everyday wear and works especially well to create a voluminous ponytail look for folks with a lot of fine hair. And the best part is, you can do it with supplies you probably already have at home!

You’ll need:
-A brush
-Two hair elastics
-A smallish alligator clip (size might vary depending on hair thickness)
-KEVIN.MURPHY BEDROOM.HAIR

  1. Separate your hair as you would for a half ponytail, creating the part about two to three finger spaces above your ear. (You can use a comb for this if you’d like a cleaner part!). Tie off that ponytail with an elastic. Clip ponytail out of the way, if necessary.

  2. Gather your remaining hair and secure another ponytail.

  3. Unclip the top ponytail, and placing your fingers on the side of the elastic closest to your head, gently pull to create a space in the middle.

  4. Take the hair on the other side of the elastic (the tail part of the ponytail) and loop it under and then up through the space you just created. Hold off on tightening for now!

  5. Take the bottom ponytail, and pull that up through the space you created as well. Now tighten the top ponytail around everything.

  6. Gather the two tails and raise them up so you can access the area underneath, then place your alligator clip just under the base of the top ponytail (feel for the base of the bottom ponytail as a reference guide).

  7. Flip everything back over so your hair covers the clip, adjust as needed, and finish with a little KEVIN.MURPHY BEDROOM.HAIR.


Now, take a deep breath to get your final grumbles out, and you’re on your way. The palm fronds and grapes will be waiting for your return.
