The Topsy Tail is back!
I loved this simple topsy turvy flipped ponytail tutorial and this side ponytail hairstyle tutorial is perfect for long hair. I like to call it the no-braid side braid. By repeating the topsy tail technique down your hair, it gives the illusion of a braided hairstyle. is so easy to do.
Topsy Tail Side Ponytail Tutorial
What you need:
Topsy Tail
Clear hair elastics
Step-by-step
- Brush your hair and make a side part. Take the top of your hair on the opposite side and secure with a small clear elastic.
- Take your Topsy Tail and insert it loop side up behind the elastic and thread your hair through the loop.
- Use the end of the Topsy Tail to pull your ponytail down through the loop and behind your elastic band.
- Combine another section of hair with your first topsy tail piece and secure it with a clear elastic. Repeat this topsy tail technique, flipping this section.
- Repeat, combining this section with more hair and flip it through.
- Continue this topsy tail technique down your ponytail. Add an elastic to your ponytail, and using the topsy tail to flip your hair through.
- Adjust your ponytail to make sure the elastics and hidden and to emphasise the twists.
I used the Scunci Topsy Tail pack for this hairstyle. The pack contains the Topsy Tail tool, a smaller Topsy Tail Junior which is great for the smaller top sections and three elastics. I prefer to use clear elastics as they are easier to hide with this hairstyle.
You can just flip your hair through to do this style but I find the tool makes it much easier and you get a neater finish. You can find the Topsy Tail on Amazon, Boots, i-glamour or Priceline.
Do you remember the Topsy Tail when it was first popular? Did you ever think it would come back?
