'Go There' Wednesday: The Fancy Ponytail

The usual prescription for a bad hair day is to sweep your strands into some sort of ponytail, whether it's high, low, or somewhere in-between. The style doesn't have to be ho-hum, though. Ladies, take charge of your pony and add a little pompadour in front, a'la Chanel Iman! Though subtle, the extra bit of flavor adds oodles of oomph to your look (so much so, that the gorgeous supermodel actually rocked this simple style to a wildly formal affair). To do, backcomb the front section of your hair with a fine-tooth comb, gently smooth down the top and sweep into a high ponytail. For an elegant touch, wrap the elastic with hair. Voila! Quick and easy chic.
