New Hairstyle #1: The Polished Ponytail

Kim Kardashian sports a chic version of the standard gym hairstyle. Here's how to get the look:

1. Spray almost dry hair with a volumizer, like Logics Color DNA Full Scale Root Finisher ($20; logicshair.com), and then lift sections away from the scalp as you blow-dry.

2. Tease the top section using a fine-tooth comb, and then switch to a brush like Goody Achieve Volume Root Lifter Brush ($7; at drugstores) to tightly pull the sides and back of your hair into a ponytail.

3. Smooth back the top section, pinning the ends above the band with Ricky's NYC Invisipin Bobby Pins ($3; rickysnyc.com). Pull a little hair from underneath the pony, wrap it around the elastic, and pin out of sight.

Stylist tip: Finish by fluffing up the ponytail so your hair looks thicker.
