A front hair roll -- or bump -- gives a retro twist to simple styles like the ponytail.
A "bump" hairstyle involves creating a quiff with the bangs or the front section of hair. The bump became a popular look with the invention of gravity-defying hairstyles, such as the beehive, in the 1950s and 60s. A bump can add height and volume to virtually any updo, including the classic ponytail. The key to creating an impressive and lasting bump is plenty of backcombing to lift the hair at the roots, and lots of hairspray to keep the style in place.
Instructions
1. Separate off the front section of hair that will form the bump by running a tail comb vertically along the scalp from ear to ear.
2. Brush or comb the hair in front off the part forward. Secure the back section out of the way with a sectioning clip or tie in a loose ponytail.
3. Lift a 1-inch segment of hair from the front section loosely between your fingers. Backcomb the segment by combing against the direction of hair growth, working from near the ends to the roots.
4. Continue to backcomb segments of hair until you achieve the desired height.
5. Smooth the backcombed segments of hair with your fingers or a comb. Layer the segments on top of one another to form a single, firm curve.
6. Spray the entire front section of hair with a firm hold hairspray to fix the height and shape.
7. Fold the backcombed front section back on itself, toward the crown, to create a roll of hair that has height and lift. Secure the hair in place with hair grips and more hairspray.
8. Untie the back section of hair.
9. Gather the hair into a ponytail at the nape of neck and secure with a hair band.
10. Wrap a 1-inch wide strand of hair from the side of the ponytail around the base of the tail and tuck the ends into the hair band out of sight.
