Retro high ponytail: going back to the 60s and 90s at the same time
Although the look has everything to do with the 60s, depending on the styling and accessories, it can also refer to a 90’s look. The base is basically the same: the tail right on top of the head and the strands of hair falling over it and over the shoulder with that touch full of charm.
The big difference here is due to the details. The retro high ponytail from the 60s has a more careful finish, with the threads usually very well brushed and smooth or with wide waves in the style of the time, usually created with curlers and clips. The accessories are classic, like ribbons, scarves and pearl necklaces to accompany.
The 90s version, on the other hand, includes a more stripped-down look with more accessories and colors, highlighting the modern and clubber footprint of the decade. Therefore, during styling the ponytail can be more carefree: stripped waves, frizz, simple finish and messy threads. Accessories include colorful hairpins and clips, headbands, maxi-earrings and vibrantly colored sunglasses.

-60s version
Step 1: wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner, preferably with moisturizing action to leave the locks well aligned and shiny.
Step 2: after the bath apply a leave-in with smooth effect and thermal protection
Step 3: Next, brush your hair using a hairdryer and a round brush.
Step 4: finish with the board to leave the threads well aligned. If you don’t want to use straight hair, you can make wide, well-marked waves using the curling iron. For curly and curly people who want to use a more natural look, our recommendation is to invest in a good texturing + diffuser and then continue styling. Use a finisher with a moisturizing and nourishing effect.
Step 5: when finished, apply a little repairing oil to the ends to seal the hair fiber.
Step 6: with the aid of a comb, carefully pull the strands upwards and secure with an elastic band, leaving it slightly loose.
Step 7: take a little gel or capillary gelatin and apply it on top of the head, using the comb to keep the strands tight, with a wet look.
Step 8: after that, release the tail and fasten again, this time leaving the elastic very firm.
Step 9: to leave the Ponytail more structured after attaching, pass two clips through the elastic, right in the middle of the hairstyle structure. The clamp teeth should be down
Step 10: arrange the wires so that they fall over your head and shoulders, very retro.
-90s version
Step 1: here the ideal thing is to wash your hair with a mild cleaning shampoo and conditioner, which makes the hair lighter.
Step 2: apply a light leave-in on damp hair and let the hair dry naturally or with a hairdryer, without brushing. If it is smooth and you want a wavy look, do a braided texture beforehand. For curly and curly just finish as usual.
Step 3: with dry threads, bring all the hair up and secure it securely with an elastic band at the top. There is no need to use a comb on this model, do it with your fingers even to create a more stripped-down look.
Step 4: apply the trick with the two clips on the elastic to make the ponytail taller.
Step 5: adjust the elastic so that the threads fall over the shoulders and finish leaving them more messy.
