Hunt's technique is simple and works best on layered hairstyles. Basically, you need to stand in front of the mirror, then squeeze the hair elastic, slowly pulling your ponytail straight up. Once three inches away from the ends, all you need to do it cut carefully focusing on the longest split hairs you can see. If you want to remove more than just split ends, you should be fine to cut straight across the top of your hand holding the ponytail up.
The key to this fool-proof method is only cutting a small amount of hair. If you want a few inches off, or a complete hairstyle change, cutting your own hair in a ponytail is not the way to go as it will leave it looking uneven and choppy. As celebrity hairstylist Juan Carlos Maciques warns (via Good Housekeeping), "When people attempt to trim their ends by pulling all the hair forward on both sides, this leaves... uneven ends and a gap in the center back of the hair."
So take caution with your DIY skills, and if you're not comfortable (or it feels too ambitious), see a pro.
