About the Curly Sleek Ponytail

Cut & Silhouette: Description: High, slicked-back ponytail with defined, voluminous curls, creating a sleek, tight front and a full, rounded silhouette at the back. Key Details: Hair is pulled tightly from all sides, crown, and temples into a high, centrally placed ponytail. The front and sides are completely slicked against the head, contrasting sharply with the curly, voluminous gathered section. Ear coverage: above-ear (fully exposed). Sideburns: slicked back, blending into the hairline. Nape/neckline: Not visible (hair pulled up). Length: Overall: Not applicable due to updo; visible gathered curly section approximately 6–8 in (15–20 cm) from the point of gathering. Front: Hair slicked back against the scalp, effectively very short. Sides: Hair slicked back against the scalp, effectively very short. Back/Nape: Not visible (hair pulled up). Fringe: No traditional fringe; fine baby hairs are styled around the forehead and temples. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: Hair is slicked completely back from the face and forehead. Fine baby hairs are visible and appear intentionally styled along the hairline. Parting: No distinct part; hair is pulled back uniformly. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Curly (Type 3B–3C), with tight, defined spirals. Styled Finish: The front and sides are highly sleek and glossy with a firm, sculpted finish. The gathered curly section has a softer, defined, and slightly moisturized finish. Styling tool: brush/comb for slicking, possibly curl cream for ends. Hold level 5/5 for the slicked sections, 3/5 for the curls. Volume & Density: Description: Extremely low volume at the scalp, crown, and sides, creating a flat, taut surface. High volume and fullness are concentrated in the gathered curly section. Thickness: Medium to thick; dense coverage in the curly section. Color: Base Color: Medium brown, warm-neutral tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Uniform color with subtle, natural lighter tones visible on the outer curls, possibly sun-lightened.
