Carrie Underwood Chic, Blonde Ponytail
Carrie Underwood's girly ponytail is so easy to do. Steal her style:
1. This look works best on dirtier hair, because it gives your pony some grip. Rub texturizing mousse through dry hair and let it set.
2. Use your fingers to comb your hair into a low ponytail. Secure it with an elastic, and tug at the back of your head to add a bit of volume.
3. Smooth your bangs behind your ear, and mist hair with a light-hold hairspray.

Use a fine-tooth comb to create a slightly-off center part that extends to the middle of your head only.2.Using the fine tooth comb, comb the parted hair slick to either side, then comb the rest back and collect it all at the nape of your neck (or make it a side-pony) and secure with an elastic.3.

If the ends of your ponytail aren't stick-straight, use a flat iron (your trusty Sedu, perhaps?) to get them looking perfectly sleek.
