Make Your Side Part Sleek Ponytail Stand Out

Mikiko Boyd, a professional hairstylist from Wave Links Hair Studio Inc. in Fayetteville, NC created this elegant side part sleek ponytail. The look features molded sides and synthetic hair additions to add length for the ponytail. Mikiko took time out of her busy schedule to give us a few tips that she uses to give her side part sleek ponytails a signature look. Check out her 9 secret techniques to improve your side part sleek ponytail:

01. Use a Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner

Before you start your side part sleek ponytail, cleanse your hair with Influance Deep Cleansing Shampoo on the first shampoo. For the second shampoo, use the Influance Hair Care Sulfate Free Honey Almond Shampoo. Follow-up with the Honey Almond Conditioner for 5 minutes. Comb hair from root to end to ensure coverage.

02. Use a Leave-in Conditioner to Lock in Moisture

Use Influance Coconut Milk Leave-in Conditioner throughout the hair, a dime size of Influance Moisture Lock with Shea Butter along with 4 drops of Influance Natural Oil and comb through the hair.

03. Create Well Defined Sections

Section the hair off to prepare for the blow-drying procedure. Make sure you dry the hair thoroughly.

04. Apply a Heat Protector

Use the Influance S3 Serum. S3 Serum is a heat protectant that will ensure your hair will stay healthy during the straightening process. Begin silking the hair out starting at the nape area and working your way throughout the hair.

05. Begin the Smoothing Process

Section the hair off to begin the smoothing process of securing the natural hair into a ponytail. You want to use Influance Twist and Lock Gel. It’s workable on natural and relaxed hair because it is a dry gel.

06. Pull the Hair Together

Begin securing the hair wherever you decide to place your ponytail, whether on the top or nape of the head. Be mindful of how much product you use to prevent build up on the hair and causing the hair to become pasty. You will build the ponytail on the natural hair, one section at a time. Once you have chosen the perfect location for the ponytail, use rubber bands to secure it to the model’s hair.

07. Set the Mold With a Hair Dryer

Secure the hair with a wrapping strip and place the client under the dryer for 30 to 45 minutes.

08. Attach the Synthetic Ponytail

Begin to secure ponytail, hair additions, starting from the end of the ponytail, natural hair, working your way up wrapping to the top, and securing the ponytail. You may use any type of track hair you desire for the outcome of your chosen look.

09. Create Your Look by Styling the Side Part Sleek Ponytail

Style the chosen ponytail and spray with Influance S3 Spray for shine.
