Perky Ponytail Upgrade your ponytail by giving your roots a lift
and the base a boost, suggests NYC hairstylist Noah Hatton, who
created these looks. Here's how:  Starting with dry locks,
section off the top middle 2 inches, then put the rest of your
strands in a high ponytail. Hatton likes to use a bungee
elastic, which is a stretchy cord with a hook at each end. "It
will make the base of your ponytail stick out," he reveals.  Now
tease the loose top section, finger-rake it back, and gently
wrap a clear elastic around it and the ponytail.  Spritz the
tail with texturizer for a tousled look. Try Bumble and Bumble

but this year, it's less about kinks and more about undulating
waves, says Hatton. To cop the effect:  Apply volumizing mousse
to towel-dried hair, then blow it out using a paddle brush.
Don't pull it down too hard though—some natural wave (if you
have any) is good.  Wrap 3-in
