Ponytail pleaser (and teaser)

Ponies are playful; ponies are predictable; ponies are ... stylish? Indeed, says Banowetz, if you work it the way Rihanna did here, as she showed us a blending of textures (curlier tail, straighter top and bangs) that fully made magic. It showed a keen sense of know-how for Rihanna to strut this stuff; you can pull it off, too.

Step 1: Slick back your hair and pull it into a tight, high pony.
Step 2: Next, tightly curl small sections of the tail (a curling iron works best), and then finger tousle each section.
