II.Spikey Pony

Alright! Style #2: The Spikey Pony

***Shorter hair works best for this do***

If you’re like me and you LOVE LOVE LOVE spikey-do’s, it’s a little bit of a let-down if you have long hair; but sob no more! There is a way to get the spiked look without chopping off your luscious locks, and that’s by making what I like to call the “spikey pony.” (Or you could put a zillion bobby pins in your hair, but we’ll save that for another day). 😉

1)Tease the mop-top, spraying with hairspray or spiker for a little more volume. Teasing is super-important if you have hair like mine [i.e., flat and lifeless], so don’t skip this step.

2)Pull the hair back into a regular pony tail. Then, take a hair parter (or rat-tail comb) and split a part down the center of the pony, creating a hole in the center of the pony. Then, pull the hair up through the bottom of the hole in an inverted-pony tail. Use spiker, ICE blaster, and styling waxes to separate and stand-up spikes. Note: I was pressed for time and did not shape many individual spikes, so if you want your hair to look all-out crazy-awesome, give yourself enough time.

3)Comb down side-bangs and burns, straighten with a flat-iron. Fluff up with styling wax. Note: Layered bangs are way easier to fluff up.

And VOILA! You’ve created a spikey-pony! Congrats! Fluff it, tease it, crazy-it-up, and you’ve got a super-awesome do! Enjoy it!

Peace ❤
