you know..the little "poof" at the top??

Answer 1

Poof Ponytail How To:

The poof ponytail is pretty easy to achieve, provided you can get comfortable with the techniques of styling it. Getting the “poof” involves using a technique called “teasing” or “Backcombing” which a lot of women hate to think of, much less do to their hair. This is usually because they do it improperly.

When trying to style the hair, and especially in a style that needs this type of manipulation of the hair, you are best off starting with “day old” hair. Meaning the hair should be clean, but not freshly washed. If you can’t avoid having to use freshly washed hair, you’ll want to “dirty it up” a bit, by applying a styling gel or other product before blow-drying the hair fully, then lightly mist the hair with hairspray and allow it to dry before brushing the hair out to smooth it once more.

This will give the hair some texture and structure and make it easier to style. To begin creating the style in question, take a segment of the hair at the front of the head (approximately one-and-a-half inches deep) and hold it lightly in one hand as you pass your styling comb quickly (with the wide-tooth end) through the hair toward the scalp 10-12 times using 3-5 inch passes. You should see some of the hairs “scrunch” down toward the scalp and cause the segment of the hair to stand a little higher on the head.

Repeat this with additional segments until you have as much of the hair as you desire puffed up. Then, gently flip the hair back away from the face and smooth the outer surface of the hair using your comb held at an angle. Pull the remaining ends of the hair back to the desired point for creating your ponytail – whether it’s the crown area or at the base of the skull – and secure the hair with a ponytail holder, barrette, or clip.

Lightly mist the hair with hairspray and gently comb over any strays or press the hair lightly with your fingers to smooth the finished style. Depending on the length of the hair pulled back, the hair of the tail can be styled into curls, doubled-under into a chignon, or twisted into a knot. Of course, you can always leave it unadorned for a simple look.

Okay, first off, it's not called a "poof", it's called a pomp, short for pompadour. The easiest way to do it is to take the front section of your hair and pull it back towards the crown of your head. Twist the ends together and push the hair up towards your face. It should lift to form a pomp. Clip it down with bobby pins and use hair spray to keep it in place. It takes practice so just don't give up and keep trying at it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Lots of hair spray and teasing!
Put your hair in a pnony tail and leave out the section in the front, then tease, spray, and blowdry the heck out of it until it makes a poof, then attach it to the rest of the ponytail.

Answer 4

okay, so first you need a regular snap clip. Got it? Good. Then you take the front pieces of your hair and lay them in front of your eyes, like you are about to get bangs. Then you take it and pull it over your head, and pull it forward a little bit to create the little "poof". Fasten with clip. Already got bangs? Just pull your bangs back. If you want the pony tail, just secure your hair low to one side, fasten, and if you must, curl with a curling iron. now i need your help. in fact, i need everyone's help who is reading this.
