- A loose ponytail for round faces
When one's face is a little round, one avoids the ponytails too drawn , which will accentuate the roundness of the face. We prefer a ponytail a little looser by leaving a few lashes escape, which will come to frame the face and soften it.
To lengthen your face, you prefer a high attachment by bouncing the top of the head to create volume.
We play on volumes and materials, focusing on the ripples and a tie a little fuzzy.
