The perfect high cheerleader braid – how to achieve the sleek look with a wow factor

It's casual, elegant, sporty, or championship-ready – all at once: The high braid is a true classic among hairstyles. Whether for everyday wear, a workout, or a night out – it instantly conjures up freshness, clarity, and a touch of "I'm in control" to your face. But how do you actually achieve the perfect look?

🎯 Step-by-Step: How to style the perfect high ponytail

1. The basis – clean, manageable hair

Freshly washed hair is great, but sometimes it's too slippery. A little dry shampoo or volumizing powder adds hold and texture—especially for fine hair.

2. The parting – or none

For a clean look, sweep all your hair back. For a bit more dynamism, part it sideways or tease the roots slightly.

3. Brush, tie, boost

Take a soft brush or styling brush and gather your hair at the very back of your head—the higher it goes, the more dramatic! Make sure to avoid any bumps—or style it deliberately for a casual touch.

💡 Tip: For extra hold, put a second hair tie under the first one – this visually pushes the braid upwards!

4. Braid perfection

Wrap a strand of hair around the hair tie and secure it with a bobby pin – this makes the look more elegant.

5. Finish with feeling

Fix it with hairspray, tame baby hairs with a toothbrush or a small brush and gel – and voilà: your high pony is in place.

But honestly: just grab your hair above your head and tie it with a hair tie – that's fine and pretty, too. And if you like it, add a bow!
