Half Up Ponytail Tutorial
When it comes to my hair, I typically stick to the basics: natural (and heatless) beach waves, curls, and an easy messy bun. It’s rare that I attempt a new hairstyle, but lately, I’ve been completely enamored with this 90s throwback Half Up Ponytail Tutorial. As a child of the 90s, my hair was often worn in this way. My mum would brush out all my wild tangles and attempt to style my hair as I protested and squirmed in my chair. Somehow, someway, she managed to always get my hair into some sort of hairstyle, and usually, it was this half-up half-down ponytail.


Half-Up Ponytail Tutorial
Step One: The first step to creating this Half Up Ponytail Tutorial is to add some volume to your hair. After washing my hair, I waited about 45 minutes for my hair to dry a bit and then finished the drying processing by blow-drying it out. A blow dryer is a great way to add volume to your hair. Simply blow dry the roots of your hair away from the direction it will sit and you’ll quickly see your hair appears more voluminous. Also, flip your hair over and blow-dry underneath to get that extra kick-up of volume. Step Two: Take your curling iron or straightener and begin to add some curls to your hair. I personally use my straightener to curl my hair, but use whichever you’re most comfortable with.






Repair Care System:
One thing I’ve realized in the last few years is that products really do matter, and I no longer use just anything on my hair. Dove’s Regenerative Nourishment line helps nourish, hydrate, and restore hair after damaging hairstyles or colouring processes. After styling my hair in this fun half-up half-down ponytail, my hair felt dry and brittle. It was in dire need of some TLC and that’s why I turned to Dove’s Regenerative Nourishment line.Dove Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo
To start, I use Dove’s Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo. The shampoo appears more creamy than many shampoos and feels as though it’s conditioning your hair as it removes unwanted product and oil. Many shampoos leave that overly squeaky clean feel to your hair, but I found that this shampoo didn’t over-strip my hair and actually left it feeling quite soft.Dove Regenerative Nourishment Conditioner
My favourite part of my hair care routine has always been the conditioning. I love how conditioners can take dry brittle hair and instantly make it feel silky. Dove Regenerative Nourishment Conditioner is light and doesn’t weigh down your hair. What it does do is condition, soften, and nourish dry hair and transform it into being soft and smooth.Dove Regenerative Nourishment Serum-in-Oil
There’s nothing more essential to my hair care routine than a good serum. While many struggle with oily hair, I struggle with the opposite – dry, brittle hair. For this reason, I like to have a light-weight serum on hand so I can apply it after I shower and throughout the rest of the day. Dove Regenerative Nourishment Serum-in-Oil is perfect for this and has been my go-to when I feel my hair needs some instant reviving.

Looks so cute half up! I usually just do the same thing over and over…
