Summer isn’t always your hair’s best friend but this season, the high pony is making a comeback. On the
catwalks of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, designer Maria Escote paired her urban street-chic with the
power pony for a formidable fashion look. We asked our resident hair expert Selda Cortes to give us the lowdown on this season’s most coveted up-do.
What’s the best thing about the power pony? The best thing
about a high ponytail—or the power pony—is that it helps keep
you cool. High ponytails are very practical for women with
medium to long hair, particularly when the summer heat makes
you want to keep your hair away from your skin. It can be
fashionable when it is used to expose a woman’s nape or draw
attention to the open back on a dress.
Why do you think the power pony is a great summer hair
style? Because it keeps you fresh, it’s easy to do, and in general it
works for everyone.
What tools do you need for the perfect power pony? This
one is a simply style. You’ll need a brush, a rubber band, and
hairspray.
Any products you would recommend to achieve this hair
style? A must-have product is hairspray but there is a product
from Eufora that I really like for finishing, it’s called Pure Polish.
It helps you to keep it sleek, control the flyaways, while providing
a shiny finish.
Do you think the power pony is something we are going to
see a lot of this summer? I think this past winter we’ve seen
many long styles, including ballerina buns and low ponies. These
continue to be popular. Many women will want to retain their
length while staying comfortable in the heat, so I think we should
see many high ponytails this summer.
