Get Rid of That Ponytail Crease
You know the bend that's left in your hair when you take a ponytail out of its elastic? Here's a trick for getting rid of it, from Tommy Buckett, a stylist at New York City's Marie Robinson Salon. Lightly dab a little water on the bend. Part your hair down the middle from front to back and separate each section in half. Then, with the nozzle of your blow-dryer directed down over a flat brush, run the brush through each section from roots to ends. (If you have curly hair, let it air-dry; the hair will go back to its natural wavy texture.) Finish by using a smoothing shine spray (like Tresemmé Smooth No Frizz Shine Spray, $5; drugstores).
