Whether you’re getting ready for a special event or walking into a more glam daily attire, the following items will lay the groundwork for you to build a head of hair that is most smooth in texture but at the same time the most voluminous one you could ever hope for you to create with your ponytail.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Voluminous Ponytail
1. Prep the Hair
The preferred moment to begin is after you have gotten your hair wet with an anti-residue product and let it dry once or twice. If your hair is freshly washed, use a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to add grip and volume at the roots. This is because it not only helps the teasing to stay in position but also stops the ponytail from slipping during the day.
Note: The best course of action for people with thin hair is to always blow their hair the other way up to create more root lift.
2. Create Two Ponytails
Malnutrition of hair makes them blend in the general volume without the use of bleaching agents that could be harmful. This tactic is a necessity if you want more hair volume without resorting to using too much hair products:
- Step 1: Divide your hair into two parts. Tie your top hair up and coil it into a ponytail on the top of the head.
- Step 2: Make the bottom half create a second ponytail directly under the first one so that the top ponytail could flow over the bottom ponytail and this allows for a bigger looking and longer ponytail to be produced.
3. Tease the Crown
Teasing the hair at the roots and securing it into a ponytail is a fundamental step you must take to keep the volume of the hair stable throughout.
- Step 1: First, you will need to utilize the part of the fine-toothed comb to automatically comb the hair nearly the scalp over and over again using upward strokes thereby creating mini rages at the roots of your hair.
- Step 2: Calmly slot the outside leaner edge of the meshing through the rim keeping in mind that never should you crush the volume that remains.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Detangle hair | Use a brush to ensure smooth texture before teasing. |
| 2. Tease the crown | Gently backcomb near the scalp with a fine-toothed comb. |
| 3. Smooth outer layer | Lightly smooth the top layer without flattening the volume. |
| 4. Set with hairspray | Lock in the tease with a flexible-hold hairspray. |
Be cautious not to over-tease as this can lead to hair damage over time. Take a bit of the ponytail with the help of a small comb to add lift and still keep the hair strands intact.
4. Lift with Bobby Pins
Once the ponytail is secured, insert two bobby pins around the base of the ponytail to make an “X” shape. This gives a small elevation that holds the ponytail in place and keeps it from drooping. This trick seems to be best for thin hair that tends to fall out of place.
5. Wrap and Conceal
Take a small section form the tail and wrap it around the hair tie to cover it. Put the end with a tinny bobby pin to make it a neat and finished view.
Extra Tips for More Volume
Add a Volumizing Product
When your hair is still damp, you can use a root-lifting spray and/or mousse. The applying of the spray should be started from the roots. Then, using a round brush will make the hair lift to be pronounced and thereby thicker.
Use Clip-in Extensions
For more sheer volume, pony hair extensions with clips are a perfect method, and you will be happy with the results. This approach both lengthens and thickens, therefore, really making your ponytail seem much thicker and fuller.
Conclusion

With these methods, your high ponytail will bounce and swell as you do your practice.
