Check out the different styles of ponytails at your disposable no matter what the occasion.

Retro Ponytail

This hairstyle creates a more informal and relaxed appearance. The secret to this ponytail hair is doming the crown of your head. The ponytail itself must also be somewhat disheveled, to achieve a balance between the top of the head and the ponytail.

Elegant Ponytail

The main thing for this sleek and elegant ponytail to look amazing is to have shiny straight hair. To achieve this look it is important to use anti-frizz products and straighten your hair before tying your hair up.

Side Ponytail

A side ponytail with straight or curly hair, worn high or low on your head can create a sweet and innocent look.

Fantasy Ponytails

The Ponytail can be combined with braids, curls and different kinds of tricks to create a magical, fairy like, unique look. All you need to create these types of hairstyles are your imagination and creativity.
