Ponytails are a quick and easy way to transform a simple everyday look into a stylish and effortless hairstyle that is sure to turn heads. The best part is that they can be worn anywhere, whether it's to work, on a date night, or on a girl's night out.
There are different ways to style a ponytail, from a bubble ponytail to a high ponytail, but one of my favorites is the sleek natural ponytail.
Bonus style tip: The sleek natural ponytail can also be a cute summer look.

How to do a Sleek Natural Ponytail
What you need
- Styling gel
- Styling mousse
- Fine tooth comb
- Bristle brush
- Toothbrush/edge brush
- Elastic hair tie
Step 1: Part your hair
- You can start with freshly washed hair or not.
- Make your preferred part either a side or middle part with a fine-tooth comb.
- Apply some styling mousse to your roots, smooth it down your hair and finger detangle.
Step 2: Sleek your hair down in sections
- First, divide your hair into 3 sections, apply your gel to the topmost part of your hair, and smooth it down with a bristle brush.
- Repeat for the other sections.
- When you get to the hair at the front where your parting is, divide it into smaller sections and sleek down each section of hair gently.
- Then gather all your hair into a secure low ponytail and smooth down any flyaway hairs.
Step 3: Lay your edges
- Go in with a fine-tooth and style your baby hairs however you want.
- Now, sleek them down with a toothbrush or edge brush.
- Rock your sleek natural ponytail as desired.
