Yee-hah cowgirl! Take the crown for the best ponytail with this easy-peasy style that looks super sleek for work, play or big-day.
In this edited extract series, Christina Butcher, author of Hair Romance shows you step-by-step how to get the look. Happy Hair Days!
Turn the classic ponytail style on its head with the flipped-over ponytail. By turning the base of the ponytail inside out and pushing it through itself, you can add body to your ponytail and give it a different dimension. The knot or bun that you’re left with at the base of the ponytail is its own accessory, though a flower corsage or ribbon can be added for a touch of colour. Perfect for school, work, or going out with friends, this style is a pretty alternative to a regular ponytail.

Accessories
Use hair elastics that match the colour of your hair to keep them inconspicuous. Add a pin or flower corsage in between the flip for an elegant or formal look.
Try this to jazz up your ponytail
Combine the flipped-over ponytail with the half ponytail for a pretty half-up style. You can also continue flipping your ponytail for a double- or triple-flip hairstyle. Combine this technique with the bobble ponytail for an almost-braided ponytail look.
