High ponytails are popular, and for good reason: they are fun, flirty, and chic. You can wear them sleek and smooth or curly and voluminous. Unfortunately, when you pull your hair up so high, you may get some bumps on the top, sides, and back of your head. Luckily, there’s a trick to getting rid of those bumps: creating a stacked ponytail.
-
1 Wash your hair, then blow dry it towards the back of your crown. The goal here is to dry your hair so that it goes towards a certain point: the back of your crown. This means that you’ll have to dry the hair on the back and sides of your head upwards, and the hair at your front hairline straight back.[1]
- Use a paddle brush or a denman brush to brush your hair while blow drying it. This will help position it better as well as make it smoother.
- Lean forward when blow drying the hair on the back and sides of your head; it’ll make things easier.
- While not completely mandatory, this will help “train” your hair to lay in a certain direction and reduce bumps.

2 Flat iron your hair if you want a sleek ponytail. Make sure that your hair is perfectly dry first, then apply a heat protectant to it. Next, straighten your hair using a flat iron. If you “trained” your hair while blow drying it, make sure that you flat iron it in the same direction.[2]
- For example, if you blow-dried the hair on the back and sides of your hair, then pull the flat iron upwards rather than down.
- If your hair is naturally straight or thin, you can skip this skip. If your hair is thick, curly, or textured, straightening it will make it flatter, sleeker, and more manageable.

3 Mist your hair with hairspray or dry shampoo if you need texture. Sleek hair is great and all, but it can be difficult to work with. Luckily, dry shampoo and hairspray will both add texture to your hair, which will help your ponytail last throughout the day.[3]…
