There are few hairstyles that deliver the elegance and sophistication ponytails provide. It is no wonder they have been a staple for so many women for decades, with each generation finding a new way to embrace classic styles or make styles of their own. No two ponytails are the same, and with so many styles it can be difficult to know which one would suit you best. In this article, we will discuss five elegant ponytail styles that are flattering for most women and how you can achieve them.
The Sleek Low Ponytail
A classic ponytail style, the sleek low ponytail makes a bold statement. Perfect for evenings out and attending upscale events, this style emphasizes your facial features and allows your natural beauty to shine.
To achieve this look, add hairspray or gel to your hair and brush hair back to the nape of your neck. To make this look trendier, add a middle part. Gather your hair and secure with a hair tie. For added length and volume, install hair extensions. Our straight bundles are ultra-silky and enhance sleek ponytail looks. Braid your natural hair and fold it under, securing with a small black rubber band. Sew or glue wefts to hair (protecting hair from glue with protective shield or wrapping strip).
The Wrapped High Ponytail
There is only one word that fits the description of the wrapped high ponytail: Polished. This cool-girl hairstyle makes you look effortlessly put together. Pair it with a cocktail dress or casual street wear to balance out your look.
To achieve this look, add gel or hairspray and brush your hair upwards towards the crown of your head. Gather hair at the crown and secure with a hair tie. Take a small amount of hair and spray with hairspray. Wrap hair around the base of the ponytail, adding more hairspray as needed. Smooth with edge brush. Add length and body to your hair with our body wave bundles.
The Sideswept Ponytail
One of the most glamorous ponytail hairstyles, the sideswept ponytail was made for the spotlight. This look is feminine and highlights the beauty in every woman. Wear it to a wedding or a gala, or whenever you want to feel like your most beautiful self!
To get the look, make a side part and section it off with a hair clip to keep hair out of the way. Add hair spray to the rest of hair and brush it back into a low ponytail. Secure with hair tie. Remove hair clip and brush the sectioned off hair in a “swooping” motion, tucking the hair behind the ear. Gather with low ponytail and secure with small black rubber band.
The Low Wavy Ponytail
The low wavy ponytail is the edgier sister of the sleek low ponytail. This bold hairstyle makes a statement with wavy texture that adds volume and a bit of drama to the look. Perfect for girls’ night out or whenever you want to spice things up!
For this look, add hairspray or gel and brush hair back to the nape of neck. Add a middle part for extra drama. Secure with hair tie. For more length and volume, add hair extensions. Our loose deep texture is the perfect choice for this look.
The Curly Ponytail
Feminine and soft, the curly ponytail is a beauty. This romantic hairstyle is perfect for the girly girl or women who prefer a softer appearance. Wear it to the ballet or whenever you want to embrace your inner princess.
To get the look, add hairspray or gel and brush your hair back to the nape of your neck. Secure with hair tie. To get the voluminous effect, add hair extensions. Try our deep curly bundles for this beautiful style.
