Shelene of Tanaz, hair stylist to S.A Beauty Editors, gives us some tips on face shapes and pony tails…
ROUND:Wearing a pony tail high on your head will add height and make your face look thinner and give it more length. Never a middle parting always a definite side.
SQUARE: Wearing a pony tail along with pieces pulled out or tendrils will help soften any angular features. Off Centre partings, and don’t forget the floaty bits.
LONG: Pigtails and then tease them and scrunch them into two buns near your ears. This will help accentuate your cheekbones and make your face look wider. A Modern Horizontal parting or a Zig Zag parting.
HEART-SHAPED: Wearing a low pony tail along with a fringe or hair swept across your forehead will visually shorten a wide forehead, and add some fullness around the neckline. Preferably no parting.
VARIATIONS ON A PONYTAIL: Take a ponytail loosely in the nape of your neck and just above the elastic part the hair with your fingers and then pull the ponytail through the hole. This creates a soft loop that is very stylish for the evening.
Scrunch your hair and then put it in ponytail that is loose at the nape of your neck or on the top depending on your face shape and then gather the scrunch into a small ball and clip it in place and this should give you a very loose tendrils bun.
Take your solid pony tail and then split it in two and braid the two sections and then wrap it around your elastic and build a very interesting bun.
Thick hair wind into a Zulu knot and then put an elastic over and/or clip it. This will give you a soft twist and when you take it out you will have such great waves.
Thanks Shelene, I love the Zulu knot tip… def giving that a try this weekend xx
