There’s something about a long, luscious ponytail that makes a statement. Think of Ariana Grande’s signature pony — need we say more? While not all of us are lucky enough to be blessed with Ari’s locks, there is a way you can fake it without the use of hair extensions. And, this handy trick comes care of a genius creator on TikTok!
Posted by @beautyhacks, the video has been viewed over six million times and has been described by some viewers as “life-changing”. The beauty of this hack is the simplicity — it only requires two hair ties and takes less than a minute to complete.
To do it yourself, you just need to tie two ponytails — one on top of the other — with the top one covering the bottom pony. The lower ponytail gives the illusion of longer hair, while the top ponytail does all the work of looking pretty. To execute, simply clip up the top layer of your hair and tie the bottom layer into a ponytail. Then, pull the top layer of hair into a ponytail and you’re done.
This trick really helps you create a Grande-esque ponytail as it makes your hair look super long and thick, while also giving off the half-up,half-down vibe Grande tends to favour as well. You don’t need to have long hair for this trick to work either, short-haired pals can also give this a go and experience the long pony life.
To watch the trick for yourself, hit play on the below video. Enjoy!
