16 Party Ponytail Looks You Need Now
Alright, let’s get into the good stuff! I’ve rounded up 16 of my absolute favorite party ponytail looks that are perfect for any night out. Some are super simple, others a bit more intricate, but all of them are stunning. We’re going to count down to my top pick, so stick around!
16. The Sleek Low Pony
Starting with a classic: the sleek low pony. This look is so polished and sophisticated. It sits right at the nape of your neck and is smoothed down for a really clean finish. I love how versatile it is. You can wear this to a fancy dinner or a more casual gathering. It looks amazing on most people and really highlights your jawline.
Keep it looking sharp by using a little serum to tame any frizz.
15. The Braided Accent Pony
Adding a braid to your ponytail instantly makes it more interesting. You can do a small braid along your hairline and sweep it back into the pony. Or, try braiding a section from underneath and wrapping it around the base. This works well on straight or wavy hair. It’s a simple trick that adds a lot of visual appeal.
Use a small, clear elastic to secure the end of the braid before adding it to the ponytail.
14. The Bubble Pony
The bubble pony is so playful and trendy! To get this look, you create a regular ponytail, then add elastics down the length, puffing out each section in between. It gives a cool, segmented effect. Clear elastics are your best friend here so they disappear into your hair. You can make the bubbles as big or small as you like.
Gently pull on the sides of each section to create fuller bubbles.
13. The High Volume Pony
If you want drama, go for a high volume pony. This look is all about getting height at the crown of your head before pulling your hair back. Teasing the roots or using clip-in extensions can really help. It adds a glamorous touch and makes your hair look super full. This is perfect for when you want to make a statement.
