Challenge:
To create one low ponytail hairstyle adding all the elements below to make it polished and modern - let’s move away from ‘just throwing your hair in a pony’.
Today we’re styling something that surprises a lot of people:
A bridal-like ponytail
Because when it’s done correctly, a ponytail isn’t casual — it’s modern, elevated, and incredibly bridal.
Bridal ponytails are:
Clean and timeless
Perfect for modern brides
Flattering, secure, and wearable
Plus, you may as well learn the right way to do a ponytail hairstyle from the very beginning
And the best part? They rely on foundation, volume, and detail — skills you already have.
This is where everything you’ve learned starts coming together.
Curled or smoothed hair
Brush or comb
Elastic
Bobby pins
Optional: light hairspray or smoothing product (optional)
Your challenge today is to create one low bridal ponytail with:
Soft volume at the crown
Clean, polished sides
A wrapped section of hair hiding the elastic - This detail alone instantly elevates a ponytail into a polished finish.
As you style, remember:
Build volume first, then secure
Secure the ponytail before perfecting the finish
Wrap the hair intentionally — neat but soft
Step back often and assess balance - is it in the middle of my head in a low position?
Success today is:
A ponytail that looks intentional, not rushed
Smooth sides with soft movement
Feeling confident calling this a bridal style
If you think, “I’d be happy to wear this to a wedding…” You’re right on track.

You are officially creating styles that feel modern and professional.
Your hairstyles don’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.
It just needs:
Structure
Intention
Softness
And you’re learning all three.
Tomorrow is Mid-Sprint Showcase Day — a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far you’ve come.
You’ve earned it!
I’ll see you tomorrow!
I’m so proud of your progress!
