Your morning blowout looks stunning, but then the rain ruins everything? Or you head off running errands wearing your hair down, and now you need a quick glow-up before the date night? Don’t worry, we got your back!
You can create countless hairstyles with only one elastic in your bag. Buns, updos, and fancy ponytails – the choice is entirely yours. Grab your hair tie right now and enjoy these smart hair tutorials that only take minutes but look like you really tried.
We all have our own superpowers. This girl’s hidden talent is creating a perfect twisted bun with a scrunchie. To recreate this effortless style, gather your hair into a ponytail and pull the elastic over it just enough to create a mini loop. Place your hand inside the elastic as you swoop your hand under the pony and around it.
Collect the ponytail onto the elastic while stretching it out. Then, twist the hair down one time and place the elastic over the loop you created in the first step. Push the loop through the opening to secure the bun.
Who doesn’t love wispy and romantic half-up hairstyles? They’re great for any occasion and look stunning on any hair type. For your one-elastic half updo, section off the top half of your hair first and make a ponytail.
Then, lower your elastic a bit to create a small hole at the base of the ponytail and push the small loop of hair up through it from the inside out. Fluff out your mini bun and tighten the elastic once again to secure the hairstyle. That’s it! You’re ready to grace the scene.
This side-part hairstyle is a perfect way to elevate your short locks or tame your fringe. Start with a larger section of your hair and create a topsy tail by flipping your hair down through the hole. Then, pull some hair pieces loose for extra fullness and volume. Once done, grab another strand from the front and pull it over and through your reversed pony. Ta-da! An instant update to any hairstyle.
Yeah, we know we promised you one-elastic hair tutorials. But just in case you don’t have one with you, here’s your no-elastic pony hack. Gather your locks into a ponytail first. Create a small loop on one side of your head and pull the pony through it. Then, repeat the process on the other side so that your ponytail is secured by a double loop out of your hair.
We all love smart solutions when our hair arsenal is limited. Creativity and imagination always come to the rescue. Oh, and an elastic, of course! Even one tiny hair tie can make a difference. But you already know that from these hair tutorials, don’t you?
