Are you tired of always showing off the same look? How about following the trend of Barbie ponytail? It has literally turned the heads of many celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello and Maisa. If you want to display it, know that it requires attention to some details, but its execution is not that complicated. We have prepared a guide on the subject, with tips and 10 photos to serve as inspiration!

What does a Barbie ponytail look like?

The hairstyle is also known by its English name “Barbie ponytail”. It obviously refers to the “straight” look of the doll, which was created in 1959 and is still successful today.

The hair is tied high on the top of the head, with a straight look, often finished with fixing gel or spray. The ends of the straight strands tend to face outwards and there is also the possibility of investing in side bangs over the forehead.

It’s also worth adding baby hair (a style of short, thin strands that grow around the forehead and face) and a variety of accessories, such as headbands and barrettes. Some women even add light waves to their tails, avoiding a completely straight look. The important thing is that the result matches your style and makes you feel good and beautiful.

The process is not complicated, but it requires some care. Learn step by step Barbie ponytail:

The first step is to make your hair straight using a brush or straightener. If you want your bangs to be styled on the side, separate them and secure them with a clip to keep them separate from the rest of your hair while styling. Using a comb, move your hair upwards until you reach the desired height for the ponytail. Secure the ponytail. You can use an elastic in the color of your hair or a scrunchie (hair elastic with frufru-style fabric). There is also the technique of two clips in an elastic, in which one is attached below the tail, the elastic is wrapped around the strands and finishes with another clip, hiding it well. You can finish it off with a lock of hair, which should be wrapped around the tail and secured with a well-hidden clip. At the tip of the tail, use a brush and a hairdryer to leave it facing outward. If you want your bangs arranged on the side, simply release the separate strand initially and comb it in the desired way, with a fixing product, and use some bobby pins to ensure fixation. All over the head, gently arrange the strands with the help of a comb to obtain a well-aligned finish. You can use gel and fixative spray to ensure durability. If you want, it’s time to finish with a tiara or a set of barrettes.

The technique became popular in the United States among black and Latina women. It then spread across the world and also gained strength in Brazil. It is done with the help of a product, such as ointment, gel and hair gelatin, and a toothbrush (used only for this purpose) or a brush designed for baby hair.

To style, place the product on your fingertips and run it through the short strands close to your forehead. Create wavy effects with the brush, without rushing. The more you train, the easier the process will be.
