International hair artist Vivienne Mackinder's "Lady of the Manor" collection included the classic look with blunt ends. Kim Kardashian celebrated her 29th birthday in the cascading pony. And I remember sporting a waterfall ponytail in the eighth grade when I was crowned Miss Model United Nations. However, my stylist was heavy-handed with the gel and holding spray.
Want to recreate this ponytail? Do Cho's five steps:
1. Spray Dry Shampoo directly at the root. Use a blow-dryer to work in excess powder and brush through before styling. Insider tip: Second-day hair is perfect to hold this style.
2. Section off hair around the crown, and then tease to create volume.
3. Use a brush to smooth the hair on the sides and back. Pull the back of hair into a ponytail and secure with an elastic.
4. Take one side and wrap around the ponytail and secure with a bobby pin. Take the opposite side and also wrap around the pony. Lightly brush back the teased crown over the ponytail.
5. To finish, work a dime-size amount of Shine Serum into the palms of your hands, and then delicately smooth ponytail hairs to eliminate flyaways.
To make this look more casual and ready-to-wear, the pro stylist recommends using less volume on the top of the head. Or add a modern touch by twisting or braiding the sides to add a textured element without distracting from the overall feel of the ponytail.
