A low ponytail is simple, but adding a twist makes it feel special. Gather your hair into a low pony, secure it with a clear elastic, then take a small section of hair and wrap it around the elastic. Pin the end underneath. This adds a touch of sophistication without any fuss. A little smoothing serum helps keep everything sleek.

13. High Ponytail
