If you’re looking for a trendy way to wear your hair in 2012, you may want to consider the bouncy ponytail. According to Glamour magazine’s beauty blog, the hairstyle is set to be huge in the upcoming year, and the best part is that it’s nearly effortless.

To get big bounce, volumizing products are a must. Use Volumizing Shampoos in the shower, then follow it up with a lightweight conditioner that won’t drag your hair down throughout the day.

Blow dry your hair upside down to create even more height. Use a ponytail holder to smooth your hair back into a high ponytail, then use a comb to tease the roots of the pony. This will create a bouncy base that the rest of your hair will hang from.

To make it extra glamorous, wind a strand of the ponytail around the elastic and secure it with a bobby pin. Easy, right? And the best part is that it works for any occasion – whether it’s at the gym or at a classy event.
