Frustrated with fine hair that falls flat in a ponytail?
You're not alone.
Thankfully, there’s a trick making waves online that promises to turn lifeless ponytails into voluminous statements, and it's easier than you might think.
Kristen Hollingshaus, a social media personality known for her beauty, fashion, and fitness tips, has captivated her followers with a game-changing hair styling secret.
It's the ideal solution for those longing for a ponytail that’s full and lifted without the need for extensions or excessive teasing.
Kristen started demonstrating her trick with a candid shot of her naturally fine hair.
She began the styling process by applying a flexible hold finishing gel, such as Crown Affair's The Finishing Gel ($64 AUD), to slick back the sides, ensuring the hairstyle is perfectly secure.
Once she applied the gel, Kristen used two different hairbrushes, Glow Beauty ($53 AUD) and Crown Affair ($113 AUD), to smooth and style her hair, keeping stubborn flyaways at bay.
The next part was where the magic happened: Kristen gathered all her hair into one big ponytail, secured it, and then separated the lower half of the pony.
She tied this lower section into a second ponytail, hidden beneath the top layer.
The end result? A full, high, and bouncy ponytail that takes mere minutes to create and lasts all day long.
Her transformation video on social media has gained the attention of her followers, pushing them to try this clever trick with comments like 'Ooh, okay, gotta try!' and 'Your hair is perfect.'
However, some users were sceptical about doing this trick.
‘Girl, if your hair is fine, mine is…invisible,' one commenter quipped.
'As a thin-haired girlie, I need to see what it looks like after a few hours,' another person mused, as it is possible it would lose volume without any teasing or hairspray.
The middle-parted, high ponytail style has been dubbed a part of the 'clean girl’ beauty routine, a minimalist, effortless beauty standard popularised by icons such as Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.
