How to achieve a high sleek ponytail on 4C hair

Maintaining your natural hair can be a struggle sometimes, where you just don’t know how to style your hair. Worry not, as this TikTok creator shows you how to do a ponytail on 4c hair.

Hair comes in different sizes, textures and styles. From having straight to curly, the options are just endless. However, in this video, we focus on 4c, which according to Hair.com is hair that has different types of patterns so you have a mixture of waves, coils, curls and zigzags. This type of hair is also always in need of moisture due to dehydration throughout the hair.

TikTok content creator @gorgiie_m posted a video of how you can do a high ponytail on 4c hair. In the video, the creator adds the products she used, where she started with a moulding gel that keeps your hair together and sleeked back. Remember to use a styling gel that works for you as some gels dry out, leaving your hair with white residues. She also went in with a Got2b glue-blasting spray ending off with putting the ponytail in.

She adds that she braided her ponytail fibre and then used boiling water to achieve a more curly look.

Many TikTok users were interested in what kind of hairpiece she used to achieve the gorgeous look.

One user asked the creator to share her hair growth tips, the creator asked, “I make sure I moisturise my hair a lot and I use oils like amla oil, peppermint oil and Native Child hair products.
