THE ROMANTIC PONY

Gathered at the nape of the neck and teased into a sweet, cotton-candyish cloud, this shapely ponytail accentuates the face—making it a go-to first date style. Townsend gathered the hair at the nape of the neck and curled three-inch sections with a curling iron. He brushed through the spirals with a flat brush. “That way you spread the curls out rather than preserving their shape,” he says. A dab of John Masters Organics Shine On Leave In Hair Treatment warmed between his hands smoothed any strays in front.
