How to Do a Specific Updo Technique Starting from a Ponytail

Creating an updo can be a great way to style your hair, and one technique involves working with a ponytail as the base.

Here's a breakdown of a specific method for creating part of an updo, based on dividing and twisting sections of a ponytail:

Step-by-Step Updo Technique (Part 1)

This technique focuses on manipulating sections of an existing ponytail.

1. Start with a Ponytail: Ensure your hair is gathered and secured in a ponytail at your desired height.
2. Divide the Ponytail: Once you have your ponytail, divide it into two equal sections.
3. Work with the Right Section: Take the section of hair on the right side.
4. Twist Clockwise: Loosely twist this right section of hair clockwise, twisting towards your face.
5. Wrap Counterclockwise: With the right section still twisted, wrap it up counterclockwise over your ponytail.

This method uses twisting and wrapping to build volume or create a specific shape around the base of the ponytail, forming a component of the final updo. You would typically continue with the other section and possibly secure them with pins to complete the style.
