Bold Bubbly Pony
How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Apply a texturizing cream all over, then slick back hair into a ponytail. Secure tightly with an elastic.
Step 2: Tease your entire pony with a rattail comb — this will give it the body to create the big bubbles.
Step 3: Take an elastic and wrap it around the center of the ponytail, then wrap another elastic three inches from the ends. Fluff out the hair in between the elastics to create the bubble shape.

Big Bangs
How to Get the Look:
Step 1: For soft, full waves, apply a golf-ball-size dollop of volumizing mousse to damp hair. Massage the mousse from roots to tips, then let your hair air-dry.
Step 2: Create soft volume by teasing the hair at your crown. Loosely pull back the sides of your hair with your fingers, and secure with a barrette in the back, just below your crown. Next, curl the hair that's left down by wrapping two-inch sections around a one-inch-barrel curling iron. Smooth your bangs to the side with the curling iron, moving quickly from root to tip.
Step 3: Add depth to your hair color with color-boosting drops — the dimension and shine actually make your hair look fuller. Smooth it on the ends of your bangs and on random pieces throughout.

Rumpled Side Pony
How to Get the Look:
Mess up your pony in the flirtiest way with volumizing mousse. Work just a little through your hair after washing. Then bend over and dry with a diffuser.
Tip: If you have straight hair, create texture by braiding two-inch pieces of hair the night before and shaking it out in the morning. Make a zigzag side part, gather hair into a loose side pony, and wrap a silky bow hair tie around hair and secure. Puff the hair over the hair tie a bit and let some face-framing pieces fall out to give the pony a looser feel.

Fishtail Braid
How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Spritz a conditioning spray all over dry hair for shine, then create a side part.
Step 2: Braid hair into a fishtail, starting two inches from the hairline opposite the side part: Working with two sections of hair, pull a skinny strand of hair from the outside of the left section and add to the right side. Repeat on the right side. Do this technique until you get to the ends, then secure with a leather band.
Step 3: Pull out the sides of the braid slightly to give the braid a messy boho feel and to create those cool, wispy flyaways.
