It's always important to start with a good base! Start with blow dried or ready-styled (curled or straightened) hair and brush through to remove knots and tangles. Second day hair will hold this style well!
-
Gather your hair into a pony tail and secure with an elastic. We recommend using an elastic similar to your hair colour so it's completely undetecable! This will create the foundation to this effortless look. We love the wrapped pony as it can be worn in a high, medium or low style. It really works at any level! At this point, loosen or pull layers out to frame the face for a deliberate messy/laid back vibe.
-
Creare more 'kick' to your pony by taking a section from the underside of your ponytail and begin to wrap it around the elastic. Get creative!: Braid the section for intricate and pretty detail. We love this plaited version seen on: http://www.hairromance.com/2013/11/braid-wrapped-ponytail-tutorial-on-the-freckled-fox.html

To secure that wrap, either fix with bobby pins or thread the end section through the elastic.
- Finish with a spritz of hairspray for a sleek look, or add some texture to that pony with a sea salt spray.
Wrapped Ponytail - Messy and casual
Helpful tip: If your bobby pin has failed you and your wrap is slipping, backcomb the end of the section you are wrapping around your pony before securing. This will create extra grip. If you're still struggling to secure this style, wind the remaining hair around one 'prong' of the bobby pin.
And if you still can't seem to get grip or want the look without visible pins/clips, check out the video below for a bobby-pin free wrapped ponytail:
And, thats a wrap! Our oh-so-simple guide to the wrapped ponytail. We are loving this effortless look at ZALA, as it works on so many levels. From a messy, laid back variation of the standard up-do, to a sleek and polished nightime style. As you can see, the variations are endless!
