Sleek Ponytail

About the Sleek Ponytail

Cut & Silhouette: Description: High, sleek ponytail with all hair pulled back tightly from the face and scalp, creating a sharp contrast with the voluminous ponytail. Key Details: Hair is gathered at the upper back of the head/crown into a single, long, straight ponytail. All hair on the head is pulled back taut, creating an extremely smooth, flat surface. Ear coverage: above-ear (ears fully exposed). Sideburns: pulled back tightly from the temple/tragus area, no distinct sideburns visible. Nape/neckline: Not visible (hair is pulled tightly upward from the nape, exposing the natural hairline, but the underlying cut's shape is not discernible). Length: Overall: Ponytail length approximately 18–20 in (46–51 cm) from the gather point to the ends, reaching below the shoulder blades. Front: Hair pulled back. Sides: Hair pulled back. Back/Nape: Hair pulled back. Fringe: None. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: No fringe; all hair is pulled back smoothly and tightly from the forehead and face. Parting: No distinct parting; hair is styled back uniformly from the hairline. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Straight (Type 1A). Styled Finish: Extremely sleek and glossy with a highly polished surface and no flyaways. Achieved with a brush/comb and strong hold styling product (e.g., gel, pomade). Hold level 5/5 (very stiff, completely held). Volume & Density: Description: Very low volume on the head, lying completely flat against the scalp. High volume and density in the ponytail itself, creating a significant contrast. Thickness: Appears thick and dense, especially in the gathered ponytail. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Subtle, finely woven warm medium brown highlights, primarily visible within the ponytail, particularly towards the mid-lengths and ends, adding dimension. The pulled-back hair appears as a uniform dark brown.
