No doubt, a ponytail is an elegant and chic; however, sometimes its appearance may look overdone or attempt-y. Give your style a unique edge by adding cute hair accessories. Choose from bows, ribbons, or flowers to give your look something extra.
Camila Cabello’s Romantic Low Pony
Camila Cabello donned her hair into an alluring low pony for her latest appearance, channeling classic Old Hollywood finger waves for an added dose of glamour in a fashion that anyone can easily duplicate.
To achieve this look, begin with a deep side part and brush your strands into a high ponytail. Next, create an undulated base texture using a teasing comb and texturizing spray. When satisfied with its appearance, secure your ponytail using some bobby pins before spraying with shine spray for the final touches.
If you don’t have face-framing bangs, take a cue from Gigi Hadid and style your ponytail with braids for a protective style that keeps strands healthy while looking chic. Be sure to use heat protectant spray and distribute frizz-controlling cream throughout your strands for an even more polished appearance; once done, tuck the ends under your ponytail and secure with a hair tie.
