Here, Erica Davis shows you how to do it yourself.

Using a fine-toothed comb, back comb (tease) your ponytail to make it voluminous and give it texture.
Step 3
Wrap the teased ponytail into a bun and secure with hairpins.

Take down your top section and spray with Dry Texture spray for grip and shine. Then, back comb it section by section for volume
