Although ponytail haircuts are recognized for their practicality, they can also be stylish. A polished yet youthful look can be achieved by letting lengths hang loose while sweeping strands away from the face.
For black hair, shorter hair, or finer hair, the style is easily adjustable. You’ve found the perfect modern interpretation of the updo.
Long-Lasting High Ponytail
Long-haired, thick-haired women frequently lament that a high ponytail falls out and is short-lived. A workaround if this is also a problem for you is to create two ponytails that resemble one.
Just part your hair in two, just like you would for a half-updo. First, create a ponytail from the lower half. After that, pull back the top section to reveal the lower ponytail while teasing it. Use another band to firmly fasten the two ponytails together.
You can choose to divide the top ponytail in half, lift the top half, and add a tiny clip to the base for volume. To conceal the tiny clip, cover with the upper portion. Put on a hair wrap.
New Ideas for Ponytail Hairstyles
- A ponytail tousled with a sleek top. It’s trendy to combine different textures in a single hairstyle. You can achieve a stylish, slick, and messy look by using gel to sleek your hair at the roots, pulling it back into a ponytail, and then backcombing the ponytail.
- Loose ponytail worn low. Although they might be useful for certain activities, tight ponytails are bad for your hair and scalp. A low ponytail that is tied off a few inches below the nape of the neck has a laid-back, contemporary vibe. It can be applied to layered or one-length cuts, as well as straight or textured hair.
- Ponytail twisted in French. Combining two different hairstyles into one is another common hairstyle technique. Say, a low pony and a French twist. You can create two French twists facing each other to make the style symmetrical, or you can opt for a standard French twist that ends with a side pony for a stylish asymmetrical appearance.
- Ponytail wrapped. Although there is nothing particularly novel about wrapped ponytails, you can play around with the wraps to create fresh looks for the classic pony. When wrapping around the base of your ponytail, try to leave a section out of it that you’ll use for the wrap and twist it. A low ponytail looks great with this one.
- A ponytail with crinkled edges. You can give your basic pony some texture by using a crimping iron. Instead of crimping the entire head of hair, try adding a few crimped sections here and there or crimping just the roots and leaving the lengths uncut.
- A ponytail split in half. Basically, all a basic ponytail does is push hair back from the face without any additional styling. You’ll get a new look if you try it low and with a middle or side part.
Chic Ponytail Hairstyles
You can no longer just use an elastic band to tie your hair back these days. A bouffant, hair wrap, braid, bangs, striking hair pieces, etc., can elevate a modern ponytail. You can experiment with various textures, experiment with extensions, and switch between high and low ponytails. These are some visual ideas.
