Today, I shall finally divulge my poofing tips for creating a great bouffant ponytail, my favorite hairstyle of all time. Well actually any hairstyle that involves teasing one's hair to it's near death is perfection in my book. But one must practice careful discipline when perfecting the art of poofing.
It ain't easy, ladies.
We girls here in the South are trained from a young age to wield a rat-tail comb and can of aerosol hairspray. Why, even a few Yankees have gotten the hang of it ; ) But for those of you who are unpoofed, badly poofed or afraid to poof (but really want to), today's little video aims to helps you out a titch.
And for those who are unwilling to be poofed...well...I pray for your souls. And for the lack of volume in your hair.
Note: We had a little mishap with the camera battery going dead, so to watch the tail end of the tutorial, you'll need to click on the second video.
Another Note: I got a tweet while ago saying the videos weren't showing up for them. They look ok here, but I know tech things can work differently depending on what server you use. If you can't see 'em, shoot me an email and I'll send them to you that way!
Here's hoping this tutorial brings you good fortune and great hair.
Be blessed, lovelies-
v cute! loved this tutorial, and now that my hair is longer i can actually try it out. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI Loved it- thanks! Taylor
ReplyDeleteYou have no made me want to get up and get a shower so I can try this hair style. mission accomplished! Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this video!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I always have the rats nest look going on and when I try to smooth it out it all falls flat. I will definitely try to straighten a piece in front and flip that over the top of the poof! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you actually use the rat-tail comb?
I can't see the videos! Email please! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
ReplyDeleteAh LOVE it! Thank you!! You have the perfect poof, I'm going to try this out today :) btw, when do you use the rat-tail brush, can it be used in place of the other brush? You're so cute & how sweet of your fiance to video tape you!
ReplyDeleteLove it!

Thanks so much for the video. Love it. I just found your blog from Kelly's Korner! I would love to see more videos, especially around make-up!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh poofy pony tail is my nemesis.. My hair is too heavy and thick.. but if you say so I'll attempt this tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteloved your tutorial! I went back and re-did my hair for the day after watching it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
So cute! I'm going to try it tonight :) Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! The poof ponytail is one of my go-to hairstyles as well. But instead of using a clear ponytail holder (great idea btw), I use a regular one and then wrap a small section of hair around it, pinning it underneath with a bobby pin - super easy and looks so polished! Thanks for posting this! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis video is AWESOME! I definitely learned some tips and tricks, so hopefully when I try I will get it just right like you!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'm going to have to try it tonight!
ReplyDeleteI know I posted a comment earlier today but wanted to come back and add that I tried the poffy pony today and it worked out great for running errands in AZ heat (112 plus humidity today)!
ReplyDeleteloved the video! now i just need your tips for volume when wearing your hair down... do you tease? or do you have any great products you can recommend?
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling video of you and your poof! :) I hope you do more. They're fun to watch and after all these years, I still am learning a lot. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the poof! Wishing I had longer hair to try it.....
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend,
Michelle ;)
You are so cute! I am going to try this out this morning and I'll let you know how it goes ;) I don't think it will look as perfect as yours....but we shall see!!! Thanks for the lovely video!
ReplyDeleteGIRL... I can't thank you enough! I've always attempted, but now I can master the art of poofing! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeletePS- Ya'll are adorable with your video-ing and giggling :) ha!
Excellent tutorial.
ReplyDeleteDo the clear ponytail holders work for thick hair? I've lost way too many non-clear ones attempting to pull my hair up because it's just so thick.
YAY! Can't wait to try this. I've been dying to know how to achieve the perfect pouf! Most more tutorials please!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial girl! I tried that poof technic this weekend and it looked great on me!
