Did you go out last night and your hair is now a mess, but you need to look put together for Brunch? YIKES!! This is the pony for you. All you need is a scrunchie, Flex Reflect Hairspray & the fave Detangling Brush to get yourself looking brunch ready!

1. Brush out last night’s waves with the fave detangling brush to give a soft finish to the hair.
2. Brush hair back into a low ponytail, making sure to smooth out all bumps.
3. Spray Flex Reflect Hairspray all over to tame flyaways and keep the top part of your pony sleek.

Pony 2: The Bubble Pony

The trick to this style is prepping hair with Dirty to Flirty Dry Shampoo + Texture Takeover Hairspray. It gives styling grip & control as you create the pony. 

1. Start with a half up pony. Wrap a piece of hair around an elastic to cover it.
2. Tease the pony for volume.
3. Gather more hair from the sides and secure with an elastic. This is bubble #1.
4. Take fingers on each side of the secured hair and tug to create your bubble. Continue the same as you go from top to bottom.
5. Remember to tease each pony to keep the bubbles full when pulled! 

Pony 3: The Sleek side pony with Curls on Curls on Curls!

Think you need gel to slick back hair to keep it in place? WRONG!! Workable Wear Shaping Hairspray is perfect for curling, shaping & slicking back hair 

Here's how to get this pony poppin'!

1. Start by curling hair 3-4" away from the scalp. Before curling spray each piece with Workable Wear Shaping Hairspray.
2. To create the pony, use the Fave Teasing Brush to get hair nice and even. Spray with Workable Wear as you brush to slick back into the pony.
3. Finish by spraying Texture Takeover Hairspray throughout before shaking out the curls.

STYLING TIP - Did you know that a workable, shaping hairspray, like Workable Wear, isn't going to be sticky and will wash out of the hair way easier than gel. This hairspray gives you extra drying time to get the hair as smooth or slick as you need it.
