Try to make sure the band matches your hair colour. Brush your hair out tight on the sides and back. Then use a defining cream or pomade to ensure the sides are smooth and shiny.

Step 3: Hide the Elastic Take a short piece of hair from the pony to wrap around the base to hide the elastic. Try to wrap it tight to ensure that it won't show the band. Wrapping it tightly will also make sure that it stays in place for a long time.

Step 4: Smooth the Side Bangs Remove clip or elastic from your fringe section and begin combing/brushing to the side. Make sure to also brush behind your ear. Whilst you brush try to curve the hair in the direction you want it to go.

Step 5: Gel it! Use a strong control gel and toothbrush or tail comb (or edging comb) to smooth out the baby hairs and get a nice finish on the section. Add a little hairspray to help hold the shape. We recommend the OSiS G-Force Gel for maximum hold! Click the image below.  Step 6: Secure with Bobby pins Secure the fringe behind the ears with bobby pins in a criss-cross formation. Doing a specific formation will help to make sure our hair stays in place. Step 7: The Ponytail Flip! Work on the ponytail itself by spraying flat iron protection spray on to the section.  Then use a flat iron to smooth out the sections of the ponytail curving the tips up to create a flip!

[bc_video video_id="6257104248001" account_id="2226196965001" player_id="rkljM4WDEg"] Has a loved one or a colleague one ever said these lines to you before? “Oh, come on. I never said such a thing.” Or “You’re just being oversensitive.” Or “I don’t know why you’re making such a big fuss about this…”. Well, if they have, then you need to put down whatever it is you are doing and pay attention to what Life Coach, Karlyn Percil, has to say about a dangerous kind of manipulation called Gaslighting. What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. People experiencing gaslighting often feel confused, anxious, and are unable to trust themselves. And there is more than one way to be experience it. Firs there is countering: This describes a person questioning someone’s memories. They may say things such as, “you never remember things accurately,” or “are you sure? You have a bad memory.” Then there is withholding: When someone withholds, they refuse to engage in a conversation. A person using this technique may pretend not to understand someone so that they do not have to respond to them. For example, they might say, “I do not know what you are talking about,” or “you are just trying to confuse me.” Trivializing: This occurs when a person belittles or disregards the other person’s feelings. They may accuse them of being too sensitive or of overreacting when they have valid concerns and feelings. Is denial a way to gaslight someone?  Yes, denial involves a person pretending to forget events or how they occurred. They may deny having said or done something or accuse someone of making things up. There are two main types of denial: Diverting: With this technique, a person changes the focus of a discussion and questions the other person’s credibility instead. For example, they might say, “that is just another crazy idea you got from your friends.” Stereotyping: An article in the American Sociological Review states that a person using gaslighting techniques may intentionally use negative stereotypes of a person’s gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, or age to manipulate them. For example, they may tell a female that people will think she is irrational or crazy if she seeks help for abuse. Where are we gaslit the most?  We can be gaslit in all areas of our lives. The truth is many of us don’t always recognize when it is happening to us – because in some cases we have normalized that behavior. It happens at work, in relationships, at home. A doctor trivializing a person’s health concerns based on the assumption they are mentally ill or telling the person their symptoms are “in their head,” are examples of Medical gaslighting.  Similarly, racial gaslighting occurs when people apply gaslighting techniques to a group of people based on race or ethnicity. What do you do in the moment when you feel like you are being gaslighted?  In the moment, you must give yourself permission to feel all your feelings. Then identify that there is a problem, focus on your feelings instead of who’s right or wrong and remember that you can’t control what’s being put forth as an opinion. What steps can a person take after being gaslighted?  Now this is very important. Once you have taken that moment, you have to come up with a game plan. Gathering evidence may remind a person that they are not imagining things. This evidence may also become useful later if a person decides to pursue legal action against the abusive person.

• Keeping a secret diary: This allows a person to track events, including the date, time, and details of what happened.
• Talking to a trusted family member, friend, or counselor: This may help someone gain an outside perspective on the situation and to create an external, additional record of information.
• Taking pictures: This can also help someone “fact check” their memories and remind themselves that they are not imagining things.
• Keeping voice memos: Using a cell phone or device to describe events is a quick way for someone to record something that just happened in their own words. Always check state laws on recordings before using them in court.

All in all, the antidote to gaslighting is greater emotional awareness and self-regulation — both the knowledge and the practice. Resources:
