Half Up High Ponytail

A parting runs roughly temple to temple, taking everything above the ear line up into one elastic at the crown. What sits below hangs free, so the silhouette keeps width at the shoulders while the top gains height. Because only half the weight is under tension, it holds all day without dragging at the hairline. A little texture spray into the crown stops the top section sliding flat by afternoon.

• Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. It stacks vertical height at the crown while the loose lengths stay beside the jaw, so the width across cheeks and chin is softened rather than exposed.
• Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. The loose half needs enough length to read below the shoulder, and medium to thick density keeps the small tail from looking sparse next to the hair left down.
• UpkeepNo shape to maintain beyond an ends trim at ten to twelve week intervals, and about two minutes with a brush and a single elastic to set it each morning.
• Ask forAsk for a temple-to-temple section taken up to a ponytail sitting level with the crown, with the ends underneath left long and unlayered.
