The sudden meeting got you down? Go for a high power pony.
Slick your hair back, pull up your ponytail to your crown, and tie it with a reliable elastic. Apply some gel to flatten the loose hairs.
Professional Hairstyles With Buns
14. Half-Up Bun
Long-haired beauties listen up. If your hair is looking a bit flat and lifeless, add volume by doing a half-up bun.
Tease your bangs and make a loose half knot, then continue with how you usually make a bun. A half-up bun won’t tug on your hair as much, and with half the weight and the tease, you get a lot more volume.
15. Messy Bun
