Step 1: Tie your hair
Firstly, tie your hair up in a ponytail that is neither too high or too low. For this step, use regular thin elastic hair ties – the scrunchie will come later as the finishing touch.

Step 2: Divide and curl
Divide your ponytail into two sections and wrap each one around a hot curling wand and hold for a few seconds. This will give you hair a bouncy, voluminous finish.

Step 3: Set it with spray
Once you have some wave in your hair, the last thing you want is for it to fall flat. Prevent this by giving your locks a light spritz with some texturising spray. This will hold it in place.

Step 4: Get scrunched
Position your scrunchie over the other elastic ponytail bands and wrap it around twice. Then fluff our your scrunchie with your fingers to make sure all the elastic underneath is concealed.
