4 Healthy Beauty Buys: Healthy Skin and Hair Must-Dos

Trend #4: The Tony Ponytail

"The easiest way to put your hair up stylishly this season is to dress up your ponytail with a sleek headband," says Sarah Potempa, a celebrity hairstylist for Aussie who swims, plays tennis, and practices yoga four times a week. Try a wide cotton band that wicks away perspiration. Her three-step pony: 1) Make a high pony by looking up toward the ceiling as you pull strands back. 2) Secure with a snag-free elastic (like Goody Ouchless, $1.99, drugstores). 3) Place a headband about an inch or so away from your hairline.

Try: i/m Adjustable Hold Head Wrap, $7.99 for two, studioim.com. These soft fabric bands have a Velcro close.
