Step Three: Secure the hair in the back into a low ponytail, creating a loop in the hair on the last wrap. 

Step Four: Gently loosen the hair around the ponytail for a softer style. 

Step Five: With the ends of the ponytail, braid into two separate plaits. 

Step Six: Wrap the braided ends of hair up and over the bun and secure underneath with bobby pins.

Step Seven: To finish the look, loosely curl the two front pieces with a hair straightener to create soft waves that will frame the face.

Here’s how to achieve the effortlessly cool half-up half-down hairstyle for prom: 

Step One: Start by brushing through the hair with The Ultimate Detangler to remove any pesky knots and tangles.

Step Two: Loosely curl your hair with a two-inch curling iron, making sure to curl away from the face for a more natural look. 

Optional: You can also add some texturing spray to your hair for a more effortless and beachier look, giving your curls some extra hold and volume. The texturizing spray will also add a touch of grit and dimension to your hair, creating a more tousled and laid-back style!

Step Three: Section off the top crown of the hair and tie it in the back with a ponytail and flip the tail inwards so it creates a twist. 

Step Four: Repeat this same step for the section of hair below and pull it through the top section from before. 

Using the Tangle Teezer Ultimate Teaser, tease the top section of hair to create some volume and height. The Tangle Teezer Ultimate Teaser is specially designed to gently tease your hair without causing damage or breakage, making it the perfect tool to create a voluminous and stylish updo.

Here’s how to achieve the ponytail of your dreams using Tangle Teezer tools and techniques:

Step One: As usual, The Ultimate Detangler should be used to get rid of all the tangled knots so you have a clean and smooth base for your updo.

Step Two: Using some hair gel, slick your hair back so that it lays flat against your head, creating a sleek and polished look. Hair gel is a great styling product for creating a smooth and defined hairstyle that will hold up throughout the night.

Step Three: Using the end of the Tangle Teezer Ultimate Teaser, section your hair in a center part and comb the hair back into a slick pony with the Ultimate Styler Brush. Make sure that the center part of the hair is still visible. 

Step Four: Once the hair is tied into a ponytail, section the hair off and tie the top piece into a separate ponytail, as seen in the video below. This will turn an ordinary ponytail into a more voluminous and layered style, adding texture and depth to the overall look. It's a simple yet effective technique that can be done in just a few minutes and is perfect for anyone looking to add some extra oomph to their hair without having to spend hours styling it. Give it a try and see how it can transform your hairstyle!

Step One: Start by taking The Original Tangle Teezer and, working from the bottom up, comb through any knots. 

Step Two: Using the end of the Tangle Teezer Ultimate Teaser, create a large section at the bottom of your hair and pin the rest up so that it’s out of your way. 

Step Three: Using a two-inch curler, curl the ends of your hair inwards and roll it up halfway. 

Step Four: Repeat the same in the next section, however this time flip the hair in the opposite direction. 

Step Five: To ensure that the curl stays in place, use a hairclip or a roller to hold it in place so that it can set while you move on to the rest of your hair. You can either clip the curl up or wrap it around a roller, depending on your preference and the look you want to achieve. Leaving the curls to set in place for a few minutes will help to create a longer-lasting hold, ensuring that your hair stays looking fabulous throughout the night.

Step Six: Repeat this step for the rest of the hair, making sure to alternate the curls in opposite directions.

Step Seven: When you get to the top section of the hair, ignore your usual parting, and curl the hair in a backwards motion. By doing this, you will be getting maximum volume and movement in the hair. 

Step Eight: Ensure that the curls stay in the clips/rollers for at least five minutes before taking them out. Once they are all out, shake the hair from the root and go back in with the Ultimate Teaser to add any extra desired volume in the top section.
