What defines High ponytail?
A high ponytail gathers the hair toward the crown. The attachment point sets how high the tail first appears and how it falls behind the head.
What to look for from the front, side and back
From the front, see whether any of the tail shows above the head. In profile, follow its lift from the tie to the point where it drops.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show the tie height you want and how smooth the sides should look. Ask how to secure short layers without pulling them uncomfortably.
