- Hi, I'm Jeremy Clark, professional hairstylist and salon owner. And today, I'm going to show you how to get a waterfall ponytail. A waterfall ponytail is a great look for red carpet styles. And essentially, what we're going to do is, pull the hair up, into a ponytail, leaving some of this hair at the top over, to spill over the top. So, for this look, you're going to need some bobby pins, a couple rubber bands, a back combing comb, a vented brush and a shine serum. I'm going to use the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine anti-Frizz Serum. I'm going to start by sectioning Kristen's hair from the front to the back, starting at the top of the crown, to the back of the ear. And then, I'm going to take this top section, and this is going to be our waterfall, I'm going to pull that out. This look can be done on any hair length that is really, preferably just past the shoulder and beyond. You want to have enough hair, that you can pull up into a ponytail. I'm going to do a little bit of back combing around the perimeter and the sides, just to give it some body. And then, I'll be pulling all this hair up into a nice, lose pony, right at the edge at where it sectioned out, the top section. So, I want to follow that jawline, right up to, about here. So, this will be a good spot to place it. Another thing I like to do, another trick, is to take a small section, just underneath. And I'm going to establish a first ponytail right there, and this is going to be our anchor, I'll be able to anchor everything else to this, one point. I've taken tat first, underneath section and pulled it up into that ponytail. And I'm going to continue doing the same with the side sections, till we get the whole, lower half of the hair pinned up. I'm actually feeding this hair into the ponytails that we've already established. So, each time that I add a ponytail, or a section of hair into that ponytail, it gets stronger, and it'll help your style last. I'm leaving a little bit of looseness to the elastic, so that at the end, I can loosen up the back of that ponytail. So, it doesn't look so pulled back in sphere. I'm adding a little bit of back combing to the roots, just to give it the appearance of more thickness and also to help hold that style in place. I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. And I'm going to take that hair, and holding it lightly in my hand, not with too much tension. Pull that right back into that ponytail that we established earlier. Now, both sides are pinned up, or pulled into the ponytail, and that leaves us with the front section. Now, if you have bangs, it's nice to just leave the bangs forward. But if you have longer hair, as Kristen does. Then, I'm going to want to mold that hair into the ponytail, as well. Placing a little back combing at the roots, and directing the hair, while I do it. And that'll help the hair in the front stay together as one piece. I want to keep this front section really lose and drape it almost like a curtain or a decorative fabric. That's just going to swoop around the sides, like this. So, we don't want to pull it too tightly, and you want to leave a little bit of room at the top for the waterfall. Now, you can see our style is mostly in place, and it's time to create the waterfall that spills over the back, using this hair at the top. So, I'm going to back comb everything, over-direct it forward, place the back combing at the roots. And that'll create that nice waterfall spill over the back. Now that we have all the hair back combed, forward, we go ahead and let it fall to the back. And you can see that creates lots of tight and texture, you can almost see the finished look there. And we just want to brush out all these little flyaways. This is really versatile look, you could actually create this look with a lot of texture and make it a little bit more messy and edgy looking. Or, you can sleek it up and make it more of an evening look, like I'm doing here. So, now I'm taking that original ponytail that's underneath, and the waterfall, over the top. I'm just going to take a little bit, place a little bit of back combing, just to fuse the two together. I'm doing that underneath, so you don't see it. And then, I want to take some of the shine serum and just run it through the ends, that'll really shine it up and polish it. So, to finish off this look, I'm going to take a little more serum, and just run it over the top. That'll catch all those flyaways and really pull the style together, and leave a little polish on the ends. This is a great look for really bumping up your style, it's sleek and sophisticated. It definitely takes the ponytail to another level, and it's just a really showy look. And that is how to get a waterfall ponytail, I'm Jeremy Clark, thanks for watching.
