High ponytails look so stunning! The ugly truth is that a hairstyle with a ponytail that is both high and long has a ton of extensions in it. This is unless a smart long ponytail trick has been used to create it.

High vs Long Ponytail Dilemma

Let’s face it: our hair is cut in a way to make the ends even at all sides, even though top strands have a longer way to go to that point than those at the nape of your head. This is why women with a lob often cannot grab their hair into a high bun or a ponytail without having shorter hair at the back fall down.

Thus, one of the common tips on how to make a ponytail look long is to tie it lower, at the back of your hair, or use hairpieces. But what if you want to have the best of two worlds and show off your natural hair without sacrificing the length?

Here is where a long ponytail trick will help. Follow these 5 easy steps for a fool-proof extra-long high ponytail:

Step 1

Gather your hair as if you are going to wear it half-up and create the first ponytail where you would like it to start. Twist and pin it on top, not to make it tangle with the rest of your hair.

The final hairstyle will eventually look as if a normal ponytail starting this high, with the impressive length though.

Step 2

Separate two sections of hair on either side near your ears. You will use these sections a bit later to conceal the second ponytail and create a beautiful, wrapped ponytail base.

Step 3

Now, take the remaining hair and split it in half. Clip the upper part on top for now and make a ponytail out of the lower part only.
