I don't know the term for it, but I love the bumped up high ponytail look with the top part of the hair all teased and squared off. Now that I have bangs I think this would be super fun to try but I have no idea how to do it...anyone know what I'm talking about? ;)

TIA!

The pomp? Or mini pomp really. lol.

The way i do it (and i don't have bangs down) is i section off the part of the hair that i am "pomping", and hold it straight up, then i tease it downwards from the backside (and i spray with a little hairspray), so that leaves the top part smooth.

Then clip it with a cute little clip or some bobby pins. Push it upwards (before clipping) at the part where you are clipping...to give it a little lift there. You can also spray with a little hairspray at the top too, for flyaways and such. Then, ponytail time! (i don't usually ponytail, i just do part of the top hair, cuz i get headaches easily =( )

I hope i made sense. lol. I have 3 hawaiin martinis under my belt right now. lol. And this is just the way i do it.... it works best for me. Others might have a different way.


Hope i could help in some way <3

I call mine the "pouf" and it is HUGE! I do it the same way as lambiepie except that I tease, then hairspray, then tease again. I do this in three sections, at the top of my head, and then each side. Then I'll put it all up in a ponytail or 1/2 ponytail and lightly tug up on pieces of hair until the pouf looks exactly like I want it.

Word to the wise though, my hair is SO damaged because of this ritual!! I finally broke down and bought Bumpits to save my precious hair!

I call it a "pomp". It's the best for dirty hair when it will stay up nice and tall on its own (I NEVER tease my hair, ugh). I wear it both with my hair down and up. I should look for old pictures.
