A ponytail is a tried and true hairstyle that you can rely on when you hit the gym, want a simple hairstyle, or just need to quickly to get your hair out of your face. Although the classic ponytail will never go out of style, here are five ways you can elevate your look.
Braided Ponytail
This is a simple and classic look you can go with that is an easy to do deviation from a normal ponytail. The braided ponytail calls for two elastics where you put your hair up in a classic ponytail and braid the tail down to the end. By doing this your hair will be secure which works well for a workout or a casual walk. You can make this look your own though by braiding a side piece into the ponytail. You can get as creative as you’d like and try different types of braids, creating the ponytail in different spots on your head and switching up your part – you can really make this style your own.
Genie Ponytail
If you are going for a powerful statement and want to demand the attention of everyone in the room, the genie ponytail is a great choice. You create a base high on your head and let the hair cascade down in this style. Perfect for a night out with friends!
Bubble Ponytail
Using this hairstyle is whimsical and fun. Simple create a high ponytail and then secure sections of your hair throughout the ponytail every two inches which creates little bubbles in between each elastic band. This style is beginning to rise in popularity, so it is the perfect time to hop on the trend and see how you like it. The longer your hair is, the more bubbles you can get!
Ponytail Bow
Add a more feminine touch with a bow. Adding an accessory can spice up your look in a fun and easy way, but this style takes it a step further. Instead of just simply working a bow into your hair, make your hair into a bow with your ponytail!
Flipped Ponytail
The last ponytail hairstyle you may want to try is simple and easy. You start by putting your hair in a looser ponytail, separate the hair at the base of your head and flip the ponytail through the hole you created. Once it is through, you can tighten your hair to secure your style.
Pulling your hair away from your face helps keep you from playing with it or running your hands through it which can lead to your hair appearing oily. Though using the same pony look over and over again can quickly become stale. The next time you find yourself going to the gym, running an errand, going on a date or a girls night out, try spicing up your average ponytail with one of these five looks. Experiment and see what works best with your hair color and texture, there is plenty of room to see what will cooperate with you!
