GET THE SKINNY ON THE TAIL





So, here is the skinny on the tail... As a man, I often find myself shareing this feeling with many men. Scenario...
She enters the room looking fierce! Shoes? Hot!!! Dressed to kill!!! Makeup? Flawless !!!!! Then with a Jackie Chan drop kick, it hit me, a some what greasy ponytail, all pinned up and in place...

How do you decide when a messy ponytail is appropriate ?
If you are going to the neighborhood supermarket at 2pm on a Tuesday when nothing is happening.. then maybe you can get away with it. AT NO OTHER TIME IS THIS APPROPRIATE!!

The test is getting a hand mirror and have a look at what we all see close up , it maybe:
A) lop-sided tail ,
B) tons of bobby pins ( wrong color )
C) a chewed up hair band ,
D) frizzy ends .
F) Are you ready for this ? Hold on I think I need a moment ...My lips are struggling to form the words ... A butterfly clip!! The person who invented this should be reprimanded for encouraging so many innocent women to walk around with their hair "butterflied up "!

Seriously :)
So, is the Ponytail a curse or a cure ?
From what I am seeing on the streets , 85% curse 15% cure. Can the citizens on this precious land get together and do something to stop this? Well here are some helpful hints;

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HAIR IS PROPERLY BLOWN OUT (SHAMPOOED, CONDITIONED & DRIED) USING THE PROPER PRODUCT FOR YOUR HAIR TEXTURE. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP TO ENSURE THAT YOU WON'T COMMITT THE 2-DAY OLD HAIR THROWN UP INTO A PONYTAIL OFFENSE THAT WILL BE QUICKLY RECONGIZED AS A MISHAP!

BE SURE TO BUY HAIRBANDS COVERED IN FABRIC, NOT RUBBER OR MATELLIC BANDS THAT DESTROY THE HAIR.

INVEST IN A HAND MIRROR. THIS WAY YOU ARE ABLE TO CHECK THE BACK OF YOUR HAIR IN A LARGER MIRROR.

POMADES ARE IMPORTANT IN HELPING ACHIEVE THE PERFECT PONYTAIL BY MAKING IT EASIER TO MANUVER THE HAIR. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.

FOR A FINAL FINISH. ONE CAN USE A FLAT IRON TO SMOOTH THE ENDS OR A LARGE CURLING IRON TO CREATE BODY.

OVERALL, IT SHOULD BE A CLEAN, POLISHED, CENTERED PONYTAIL.
