Ponytail Perfect

CEBU, Philippines - Ponytails are like pearl necklace. They are a classic, and they never go out of style. In building-speak, you might probably say that ponytails serve as the sassy foundation by which a plethora of other looks are built upon. 

They’re perfect example of function means fashion as this ‘do doesn’t just help you keep those tresses off your face, but the technique keeps back all those strands to make sure that your face and décolletage are the main attraction.

This summer, the spotlight goes to this classic do-it-yourself style. 

Here are some fabulous inspirations on how to rock this classic summer ‘do.

Looped Under

Here is a truly equestrian look that will take you from daytime sight-seeing to night time partying. It’s clean without being too put-together, and it’s perfect for those who already look smashing with a center part.

Messy Low Pony

Messy can be sexy. Messy hair done the right way is nothing short of perfect for the beach. The messy low ponytail will be all about adding volume for a seemingly just-got-out-of-bed vibe. Sexy and relaxed, this breathes some life into the every-strand-perfectly-in-place look.

Textured Wet-look Pony

The Reed Krakoff Spring-Summer 2013 runway was just oozing with modern, confident women who perfectly fit the bill to rock this ponytail reinvention.  The textured wet-look ponytail is edgy and sophisticated, and it is not for the faint of heart.  Rocking this look goes beyond executing it flawlessly.  This look requires a lot of confidence to pull-off.

Side-parted Low Pony

“Part” and “twist” are the two words you will need for this low ponytail variation.  Take inspiration from the Spring-Summer runway of Jenny Packham for an exciting new twist to a classic. Who knew that a little parting and twisting could do so much?

Diagonally Low

When it comes to ponytails, one of the easiest to play around with is the parting.  The diagonal parting adds a unique twist on the low-ponytail by going way beyond the two most popular partings—center and side.  This is definitely for the girl who doesn’t have ‘usual’ in her vocabulary.

Beauty and the Feast

Keeping the skin healthy is all about what you swallow, more than just what you put on—although there is nothing wrong with sticking to a powerful combination of both.

While we highly recommend sun block, it also pays to shield the skin with nature’s own range of sun block that you take in.
