Sleek Gelled High and Low ponytail!!!!

Sooo I’ve been wondering how to do this hairstyle for so long coz it looks so good!!
The tutorials I’ve seen well...many YouTube RS are from America so use products from American shops
But does anyone know products in London to use or a video tutorial I can see
I’m Asian and not black (not trying to be racist but sorry the Afro hair black peoples hair tutors they need other products to use .... REALLY not trying to be rude here...)

Or can anyone say how to do them?
Suggest any products or tools like a comb
Products preferably from boots or products in London

I want it to stay in place all day, look sleek and tight

Thanks!!

Have u done this hairstyle before?
Lol I would do it using my dads gel a comb and that’s it
But it’ll always be fizzy within minutes
Never acc sleek

Maybe eco styler gel
Bristle brush

I have Used it on my friend and with straight hair
Use a little bit of water to slick hair and use eco styler gel to do edges

Lol yes but not for a while- currently suffering with ‘mum hair’ (or a flat messy pony tail shoved up in the 10 seconds I get time to do it lol!) my mum has very thick, black, frizzy/curly hair and she uses coconut oil sometimes and it’s always worked well. I have straight, fine, light hair and it has the same effect! Also smells pretty good 🤪

Only if you use it to much i have Afro hair and only wore my hair in a high puff for a year with the gel and my edges thinned out

I still use it but not as often and my edges are fine so I guess it depends

If you use the gold gel that would be THE BEST it doesn’t mess your edges up at all

But I think I would have to use too much....
And when u do it, is it ever fizzy at the end or there are bits sticking out? Maybe that happened to me coz I didn’t do it properly...

Also bristle brush is best right?
