7. The Wrapped Base Pony
For a super polished finish, wrap a strand of hair around the base of your ponytail. This hides the elastic and makes it look really sleek. Take a small section of hair from the underside of the pony, wrap it tightly around the hair tie, and secure it with a bobby pin underneath. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference.
Use a little hairspray on the strand before wrapping for a smoother finish.
6. The Double Pony
Want your ponytail to look longer and fuller? Try the double pony trick! You create two ponytails, one right above the other. The top ponytail hides the base of the bottom one, making it look like one long, voluminous pony. This works wonders for adding length and thickness, especially if your hair is on the thinner side.
Align the two ponytails carefully so they blend seamlessly.
5. The Slicked Back Pony
A slicked back pony is modern and sophisticated. Use gel or pomade to smooth down the hair at your roots and temples, pulling it back into a tight ponytail. This look is super clean and really highlights your facial features. It’s a confident, powerful style that’s perfect for a chic party.
Use a fine-tooth comb to get that perfectly smooth finish.
4. The Messy Chic Pony
Not everything has to be perfect! A messy chic pony is relaxed but still stylish. Pull your hair back loosely, letting some pieces fall out around your face and neck. The key is to make it look intentionally undone, not just messy. It’s great for a more laid-back party vibe.
Gently pull out a few face-framing pieces after securing the pony.
3. The Voluminous Curly Pony
If you have gorgeous curls, show them off in a voluminous pony! Gather your curly hair high or low, focusing on maintaining that natural texture and body. Use curl-enhancing products beforehand to make your curls pop. This style is full of life and personality.
Avoid brushing your curls once they’re styled; use your fingers to gather them.
2. The Fishtail Braided Pony
Adding a fishtail braid to your ponytail brings an intricate, bohemian feel. You can braid the entire length of the pony or just a section near the base. Fishtail braids look more complex than they are, but they add a beautiful detail. It’s a step up from a regular braid.
