Demonstrating how to replicate the style on her Instagram page, Emma said you should first of all do a low half ponytail.
Then, half fold the ponytail through the hairband to create a bun shape, using the half that is left out to wrap around the hairband.
Finally, pin the style in place with a bobby pin and secure with texture spray if you want to add more volume.

Previously, a leading hairdresser revealed the five bad hair habits she has seen over years of treating clients, and how to fix them.
Faith Williams, from Brisbane, said she has ‘seen it all’ when it comes to people’s hair, and often men and women get into bad habits that they don’t realise are doing long-term damage.
The first bad habit listed by Faith is avoiding regular trims because you want to ‘grow’ your hair.
‘If I had a dollar every time someone has thought this, I’d be winning,’ Faith told Daily Mail Australia.
‘When you get split ends, they continually split further up the hair shaft, which leaves you with thin, wispy ends that will eventually break off.’
The second bad habit is essential to remember if you ever use a hairdryer, straightener or heated device is that you must use heat protector.
‘Heat can be one of the worst things we can do to our hair, but let’s face it, we all love a good curl or a straighten,’ Faith said.
‘Hot tools dry out your hair which can lead to lots of split ends, as well as fading your colour and toner.’
The hairdresser said that using a heat protector is like ‘using sunscreen when you go out in the sun’.
‘It minimises damage to your hair from hot tools, but should also protect your locks from sun damage including harmful UVA and UVB rays,’ she said.
‘Heat protector creates a barrier, locking in the moisture and helping to smoothe out the cuticle and fight frizz.’

If you’ve fallen into the trap of washing your hair every day because you think it will otherwise get greasy, it’s time to think again.
‘You might love that frequently-washed feeling, but it’s not always a good thing,’ Faith said.
‘It dries out both your hair and scalp, your hair will generally start to overproduce natural oils to compensate for you washing your hair so much, and you’ll always feel like it’s oily: a lose lose scenario’.
Dry shampoo is your saviour here. It will let you get extra days out of your ‘dirty’ hair
Finally, if you’re someone who pays a lot of money at the salon to have your hair done, but then you don’t follow it up at home with the right items, you need to stop.
‘When you go lighter, you really do need to ensure you are using a good combination of strengthening treatments and also adding some extra hydration into the hair, for example a leave-in moisturiser,’ Faith said.
‘Add a leave-in moisturiser to your hair care routine when you get out of the shower and have freshly washed your hair.’
