And now, a super clever method for making sure your ponytail never fails to look thick, full and voluminous is doing the rounds on the video app. 

If you have a stash of the beauty market's best hair products plus all the tools you need to create hair full of volume but still struggle to get your pony to look on point, you're going to want to pay attention to this.

The footage shows her simply sectioning her hair into two layers, before tying the upper layer into a ponytail, as you usually would. 

Next, Amber takes the bottom layer of locks, splits it into two and wraps each side around the first ponytail, before pulling all of the hair together with a band.

Amber also shared her tips for creating the ultimate messy bun, telling fellow TikTokers that two loose knots in the hair is the key to nailing the off-duty style. 

With her hair already tied in a ponytail, Amber can be seen pulling together a flawlessly messy top knot in a matter of moments.
