How To Spice Up Your Ponytail
We’ve been throwing our hair up in ponytails since we were in elementary school. It’s quick, it’s easy, and there is no surer fix for a bad hair day.
But, let’s face it, sometimes your run-of-the-mill pony can get a little...blah.
Here are five simple ways to take your ponytail from blasé to babe, without spending hours in front of the mirror.
1. The Casual Half-Braid
Try this on a morning you were gonna shower, but ran out of time (it happens to the best of us). It’s like the half-braid your mom did for you when you were eight, but way classier!
2. The Crossover Pony
This looks some kind of fancy, and it couldn’t be easier to pull off. Try this one on date night, or any time you want to look romantically tousled.
3. The Triple Flip
Remember using that ponytail tool in fifth grade to flip your ponytail over and everyone thought it was so cool? This is like that, but way better. Because there are three of them.
4. The Side Braid Pony
If you want a little drama, try a casual side braid. It adds some low key spice, and couldn’t be easier. This is perfect for the beach, the pool, a cookout...you name it. This screams “summer fun”.
5. The Double-The-Pony-Double-The-Fun Pony
Let’s face it, some of us need a little help in the volume department. If your pony needs some oomph, try pulling half of your hair up, securing it with an elastic, then pulling the rest up around it for a double-layer look that will most assuredly make people gawk. Throw some hairspray in there and you’re golden.
No longer is the ponytail just a last resort or a little kid style. These five ponies will keep you classy and comfy all summer long!
