My hair type is fine (and dry, if you care), and more often than not I wear it down and styled in a blowout or loose waves. Because it’s on the thin side, I find that it looks its best when I can fake fullness, and that happens with a lot of tools (like my beloved Dyson Airwrap) as well as products, like thickening and volumizing sprays. When I wear my hair up (which, again, isn’t often), there are a few different TikTok hacks I like to use. Yes, the slicked-back bun that’s loved by celebrities and models is great, but it can take a mountain of products and patience to create the perfect smooth look.
Instead, I lean on a few other styles geared toward fine or thin hair and making it appear fuller. There’s a two-part ponytail hack that always makes it look like I have more going on than I really do, and a trick that utilities a claw-clip for the same effect. The only problem is that sometimes I don’t have the time to go through a multi-step hair routine, so I’m always looking for something faster and easier to do. Enter: TikTok’s “drop ponytail” hack.
