Fast, Easy Curls! Curly Hair In Minutes With The Ponytail Method

Hey everyone, I'm Morgan crane and I have gotten a lot of requests from you guys about how how do I do my hair, so I'm here to teach you how to do it. I have never had like particularly great hair, but ever since I started using this method about a year ago, I've gotten so many compliments and I love it. So I want to teach you how to do it and the reason I do it this way. It'S fast. It'S really easy and it gets great results. So, let's talk about how to do it. If you like what you see subscribe to my youtube channel, I do videos like this all the time and I hope it's really helpful. Let'S get started so when I start to do my hair, I start with it clean and dry. You can do this on freshly washed hair or you can do it on day old hair. As long as it's pretty clean the curls should take. So I did blow down my hair. You can air dry it if you want to. It, doesn't really matter as long as it's dry and then what you're gon na need for your tools. You need a curling iron, so this one is a one-inch base and it has a guide on it. You don't need the guide, it's just what I have and it's what I've been using. So this is what I use. You can use a curling wand, whatever you feel comfortable with, but a smaller barrel will make tighter curls and for me, tighter curls lasts longer and they will relax over time. So I like to start with tighter and let them relax. So I've got my curling iron. I have my hairbrush and I have two ponytail holders, because I'm gon na do two ponytails and then the other thing that I used before any of this. I do use a leave-in conditioner when I'm brushing out my hair, because I don't condition all of it. I usually just condition the ends and then the last thing that I use is glorius primer and I'll talk about this when we're ready for it. But I do put this in my hair, so first thing that we do. Is you want to put your hair in to pony tails? So I do my my top ponytail. I put it really close to the front of my head: the higher the ponytail, the higher up in your hair, the curl will start. So I do it pretty close to the front of my head because I, like my front curls to start pretty close to the top of my head and it doesn't have to be like a perfect ponytail. It'S not you know for fashion purposes, but you can see that right there. So that's about half of my hair. I don't start it like right in the front I started kind of top of my head. I try to make it symmetrical, so that's the the top one um. If you are going for a lot of volume or if you have a lot of hair, you can do three ponytails, but I usually just do two. So in my back ponytail just I usually put it right about there. It'S very stylish okay, so once your ponytails are in, looks awesome, okay, so I'll try to keep my hair in frame, but it's long you don't really need super long hair to do this. I have been doing this with my hair, since it was just a little bit past my shoulders. If you can get it up in a ponytail you can you can do what I'm doing? Okay, so here's the secret. So you do you want sections smaller sections will do smaller, tighter curls, bigger sections will do bigger curls so start with this section and seems like you just want to spiral spiral, your curl, you see, you got that little tail on the end, so I will just Pull it out and pull it back tight and then I just let it sit for a minute. I mean the curling roots pretty hot, but I want to make sure it's a good curl. I do want to curl it all the way up to the base of the ponytail and then after a moment I clip it out and then I've got this really tight, curl you'll notice. I didn't put any product on my hair before I did this. My hair holds Crowe really well, so I don't need to spray it. You could spray it with like a light hold hairspray if you wanted to beforehand, if you don't think it's gon na last as well. Sometimes I spray it at the end, but I don't always spray it before I do it. I don't find it to be necessary, but that's just what works for my hair, so do what works dude! What'S gon na work for your hair, so my hair - I parted over here and it falls that way. So I do most of the curls on this side of my head for the top girls, but I will do a couple that fall this way for the hair that is gon na fall in that side of my head. So I'm gon na keep going with this. For a second and I'll be back to show you the full ponytail okay, so now I have all of my curls and very glamorous. Looking here is the back ponytail, and at this point you really just want to make sure that all of the curls are completely cooled before you take them down, so you know check it gently, but you want them to cool off from the curling iron in the Spiral position before you take them down, so next step is take down your curls. This is the fun part to see what they're gon na look like, obviously be gentle pulling them through the ponytail holder. You just don't want them to have unnecessary stress, and so you can see. I used to curl some on the side and some of the side fabulous-looking, really you take them down and what I do yeah. I can't write, but I flip my head over and shake about whoo-hoo okay, so this is obviously a little bit bigger than probably the finished look that we want big hair. So this is where the glorious primer comes in. So what I do I take a dollop of primer, probably like that much not a ton, and I just rub it around on my fingers and kind of finger comb, my hair and you can get some more definition and the curls. But as you can see, you know it looks really natural, it doesn't look like. I went through and curled each individual section, it's much more mixed up than that and with the primer you can see, it just gets a little bit more definition in the curls, and this will last me probably two days three days. The curl will relax over time, but you can kind of just rough it up a little bit with your fingers. If you want to bring back some volume, this is the back, and if there's sections that didn't take curl as well, you know you can go back in with the curling iron like. I might want to curl up this section a little bit more but, like I said, really low maintenance. It'S easy it's fast and it looks great and it makes it it gives me a big sexy hair. Alright, thanks for watching then have a great day.
