Daily hacks: How to make your ponytail look fuller and longer

In our 'Daily hacks' series, we bring you the latest beauty and home tips, trends and tricks to transform your life and save you money.


Styling your hair into the perfect look can sometimes be frustrating if your hair does not have the required length or volume.

There is no need, however, to spend a lot of money trying to change your hair to get the look you want, because these hacks do not require you to spend any money at the hairdresser or on hair products, and they can be done in literal minutes.

Two ponytails to make one

The American Threads TikTok page has shared their hack on how to get a fuller and more luscious ponytail without using any extra hair products.

The woman in the video starts off by tying the first ponytail with the top half of her hair, and then pulling the ponytail through a section of hair she created from the first ponytail.

She then ties the second bottom half of her ponytail, and then also puts the ponytail through the sectioned part of the first ponytail, before pulling her hair to make the ponytail tighter, and spreading it to make the ponytail look fuller.

Longer ponytail without extensions

Sometimes wanting the perfect long hair look might mean that you need to add a few extensions to your hair to make it look much longer and much fuller.

Nicoletta has shared a hack on how she gets the perfect long ponytail without using any extra hair products or adding any hair extensions.

She starts off by tying a ponytail with the top half of her hair. She then ties the bottom half of her hair into a super low ponytail, before completely covering the top ponytail over the bottom one.

This makes it look like she has tied all of her long hair into one super high ponytail.

Tying a ponytail with short hair

Going for shorter hair looks may be refreshing if you are looking for a change in your appearance, but it can get frustrating when there is nothing more you can do with your hair in terms of styling it because it is too short.

Gabie Basset has shared her hacks on how she ties an adorable and perfect ponytail with her super-short bob hair.

She starts of by sectioning the top and bottom of her hair. She then ties the bottom, shorter part of her hair into a small ponytail.

Once she is done, she takes the rest of her loose hair at the top of her head, and uses it to cover the bottom ponytail completely by tying another ponytail over the initial one.

This makes it look like her hair was long enough to be tied into one ponytail, and creates a fuller, more lush ponytail for her short hair.
