Ponytail styles you’ll love

Ponytail hairstyles are cool and versatile.

Pony hairstyles don’t just have to be a last resort for bad hair days. From business meetings to shopping, and even as a wedding hairstyle, this easy style can be every girl’s versatile best friend. One of the best things about ponytail styles is just how easy they are to create while still remaining cute. Don’t worry, this style doesn’t discriminate against hair length either: read on for some of the best ponytails for short hair as well as long.

Braided ponytails

Braids are one of the best ways to give your ponytail hairstyle an extra boost of cool and femininity. With so many different braid styles to work with, you can always create a look that suits your hair and style. Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Half-French pony: This look involves French braiding your hair from the crown of your head down to the bottom of your head as usual, but rather than braiding the remaining loose hair, simply using an elastic to tie off the braid and leave the rest as a tousled ponytail.
  • Double braid style: Create French braids on each side of your head and where they meet at the pack of your hair tie them off as one.
  • Fishtail pony: Perfect for super long hair, the fishtail pony involves gathering your hair into a smooth or ruffled mid-height ponytail style. Tie it off and then fishtail braid the rest down your back.

Sleek and straight ponytail hair

Channel your inner Ariana Grande and opt for the ultimate in long ponytail hairstyles. The key to this look is achieving a perfectly smooth and straight effect all over. If you aren’t blessed with naturally poker straight locks, catch up on how to straighten hair or a flawlessly smooth effect. Once flat ironed, use a paddle brush to sweep hair up into a high ponytail style and secure tightly with an elastic. To finish, apply göt2b glam Force hairspray all over for next-level hold.

Beautiful bows

Ponytail hair is easy and stylish.

This is an easy ponytail hairstyle that anyone can achieve with stunning results. This look is all about accessorizing and our favorite option is to use a cute velvet bow, although you can also opt for a scrunchie, ribbon or something similar. Perfect as a ponytail for short hair or long, you simply need to gather your hair at the level you wish and secure it with a beautiful over-sized bow. The resulting look will leave you looking like a Disney princess!

Teased and volumized

If you love making an entrance, then this is the ponytail hairstyle for you. The key to this look is volume: both at the front of the hair and at the back. If you have naturally fine hair then you’ll want to start by adding some göt2b Fat-tastic plumping mousse to add some texture and body. After this, gently tease your hair from the roots at the crown of the head to add some extra volume. Take all of your hair, aiming to keep the sides tight and no sag at the bottom, while maintaining some extra height at the top, and tie off the ponytail hair here. Take your comb and gently lift the hair at the top while teasing the ends, so as to ensure you maintain all the lift and volume you want.
