Expert Answer

If you are planning to keep the high ponytail for a whole day, use hairspray to keep it in place as well as a couple of bobby pins so that it doesn’t fall out during the day! A fiber-wrapped elastic will be your best bet in keeping your hair secure all day

Question

What if your hair is a bit thick?

Community Answer

Thick hair is deal, because you want a lot of hair in the pony to increase the Ariana Grande look.

Question

What if I don't have all of these supplies?

Community Answer

If you don't have a curling iron or hair extensions, you can still add volume to the hairstyle with some teasing. Just be aware that the more teasing you do, the less flowing your hairstyle will be. Be sure to brush out the hair surrounding the teased hair, so that you hide the mess!

Question

Do I have to tease my hair if it's already thick?

Community Answer

You do not have to tease your hair. It simply gives it more volume, which thick hair might not need.

Question

What if my hair is in a bad condition?

Community Answer

First, give your hair a good wash and let it dry naturally. Then once completely dry, give your hair a good brush (if your hair is weak or thin, consider combing instead of brushing). Then, go for a trim, or even a hair cut. This will get rid of split ends and ratty hair. Finally, massage some hair oil in once or twice a week to help get smooth, moisturized hair (remember - do not use too much hair oil in case of greasiness). After all this, you can go ahead with the hair styling. Just keep in mind that too much hairspray, chemical hair products, and oil isn't great for your hair.

Question

What can I do if my hair is short and I cannot have extensions in it?

Community Answer

Be patient, and let your hair grow naturally. It will look a lot better than extensions. Or, ask a family member if you can get some.

Question

What if I have straight, long, and thick hair?

Community Answer

That should work well for the ponytail. You may not need extensions or extra volume if your hair is very thick.

Question

What do I do if I don't have bangs?

Community Answer

You don't need to have bangs to pull off this look. Simply take small strands of hair and leave them untied, close to the sides of your face.

Will this work for hair that's a bit longer than shoulder length?

It could work, but most likely it will be harder to do and will not look as "big."

Question

What do I do if my hair is naturally curly and mostly wavy when I want to do an Ariana Grande ponytail?

Community Answer

You can still put it up into a ponytail and pull it off. Or if you have a hair straightener, you can straighten your hair and put it up.

Question

How do I do an Ariana Grande ponytail if I have really thin hair?

Community Answer

You can add some hair extensions that copy the style of Ariana's look. There's no need to worry about thin hair, there are plenty of extension choices out there.

Question

What do I do if I haven't got a curler?

Anna

Community Answer

You can always use a hair straightener as a curler or use rollers. Curling your hair is not necessary as Ariana also does wear straight ponytails.

I'm a kid and I don't have any hair extensions. How can I do this on my hair?

You can do this hairstyle without extensions! If you don't have long hair, then unfortunately this ponytail will be a shorter ponytail but it’s still cute!

Question

My hair isn't too thick or slim, it's sort of in between. Would that matter at all?

Community Answer

Not really, it would likely be easier to tie up. Thicker hair is harder and the band sometimes snaps, while thin hair can be too wispy and flyaway. Maybe you have the perfect hair.
