High ponytail with waves
@oliviabrower_ wears the THICK halo in COL. Dark Blonde 10 styled by @brittsully
This ponytail hairstyle is perfect for all the mermaid wave crazed hunnies.
Give the traditional high pony a seachange by adding some sleek and sexy waves.
To get this dreamy style, you can either wave your hair first or once it's already up.
If you're after a more chic style, I'd suggest slicking your hair up using a detangling brush and securing with an ecstatic, or your fave scrunchie of course.
Once your hair is up and the fly-aways are tamed, separate your pony into three sections and wave them.
Gentle brush the waves out using a wide-tooth comb and spritz with a lightweight holding spray.
If you're after a messy look with a little more volume at the crown of your hair, wave all of your hair before styling it into a high pony.
For nights out, pair this look with big statement earrings and a bold lip.
Or go barefaced and ditch the accessories for a day at the beach.

"Just put it in a ponytail," and throw on a gown because ponytail hairstyles are no longer just for cool-girl, casual.
Seriously, if you see me walking down the aisle with a ponytail, mind ya business.
Although this look may require a little more effort than the traditional pony, the end result is well worth it.
Curl all of your hair and pull it back into a mid to high pony, smoothing the top and sides back with a teasing brush.
Leave out a cm wide strand one either side.

Very carefully pull the hair at the top out to create volume.
Add a pair of pearly clips or accessories with statement earrings.
