A ponytail is one of the most versatile hairstyles for girls. It can be worn casually or elegantly and looks fantastic on any face shape or hair texture.
Try adding an adorable and girly hair accessory like a scarf or flower. This will add some color and will make your ponytail even more distinctive!
Braided Ponytail
The ponytail is a Swiss Army Knife of updos; you can quickly and effortlessly wear one for casual or more formal looks with its simple design or add braided patterns that have significant meaning to create an updo that makes an impressionful statement.
Add braids for added drama – from mini plaits that create cute bow designs, symbolic braid patterns, or intricate plaits that symbolize something significant; there are endless ways to wear your braided ponytail!
One trend we admire is the triple-braided ponytail worn by stars such as Yara Shahidi, Millie Bobby Brown, and Zendaya. To achieve the look yourself, start with a low ponytail and braid three equal sections of hair at the crown before tying with a hair tie – for an added bit of glitz, you could also thread fabric trimming or rhinestones through each braid for extra oomph!
High Ponytail with Braids
Making a high ponytail with braids is an effortless way to upgrade any look, making it suitable for special events and outfits. Additionally, this style helps with the thickening of hair; experiment with different braiding techniques, lengths, and patterns for an original class that speaks volumes about who you are!
Beads add an elegant and chic finish to a braided ponytail, perfect for anyone seeking to emulate boho-chic styles. Additionally, add clear elastics for an unexpected yet playful touch!
This style is ideal for those who wish to use something other than hair products. This chic and sophisticated style will keep your locks in place all day!
Low Ponytail with Loose Waves
For an eye-catching yet casual look, add some voluminous waves to your ponytail for a chic yet simple style – ideal for days at the beach or nights out with friends!
To achieve this look, apply styling lotion or thickening spray to your locks and create waves with a curling iron. Next, gather up all of the hair into a low ponytail secured with elastic. Finally, finish by adding a ribbon for an eye-catching finishing touch.
This sophisticated black ponytail style will be suitable for formal events. A side 4-strand braid and face-framing strands add height and dimension to this look, as do tying thick strands around its base to disguise elastic. Tie an extra thick strand around its base for an enhanced polished finish!
High Ponytail with Braided Front
A high ponytail can be an effortless look that you wear casually every day or can also make a statement at formal events like prom night. Tease strands from underneath and wrap a section around an elastic for added sophistication. Combine this look with bold makeup and your preferred eveningwear to complete it and see the results come to life!
This adorable braided ponytail is easy and beautiful – an ideal look for date night! It works exceptionally well if your hair has an ombre or highlighted hue; second and third-day locks provide added grip, texture, and built-in grip for easier styling. Add Fructis Flexible Control Anti-Humidity hair Spray as a mist spray for added polish.
Cornrow Ponytail
This stunning hairstyle offers you a distinct style. Though slightly more express than other ponytail braid styles, this one still looks lovely and fantastic for special events or everyday use. Perfect if you want to channel African Queen vibes.
This style features thick braids in a zig-zag pattern for added interest. We love this style because cornrows add so much character and are easily customizable with beads or cuffs for an extra pop of color! This is one of our favorites!
If you want something different with your cornrows, emphasizing lighter blonde colors may help them stand out more and provide additional UV protection for your locks. Not only will this add variety to your look, but it will also protect them against sun damage!
