STEP 1: Pull hair back into a low ponytail with a hair tie that blends in with the color of your hair. (Goody makes some inexpensive ones.)
STEP 2: Tuck the ponytail under and secure it with bobby pins to hold your hair firmly in place.
STEP 3: Next, pull a generous amount of hair from the tops and the sides to create the illusion that your hair is down.
STEP 4: Lastly, curl the loose hairs with a curling iron so they shorten and look more voluminous. Mist your entire head with hairspray and then loosely pin back any extra long hairs to create an overall shorter appearance!
