bump up your pony tail.

 No, I don't mean you should snookify your hair before putting it up in a ponytail. You can create some volume, without looking like an  overly bronzed cast member of the jersey shore.
 Heres how to get an appropriate ponytail with volume.
   Slightly tease hair at the top of your head.
Put your  tresses up into the ponytail.
You should put it in  the middle of your head.
 If you want to get  extra crafty.take a curling iron to your entire head to create waves before teasing.
 This take on a pony tail works for fine or thick hair.
