Ponytails never go out of style because they’re the easiest way to tuck away your hair. No styling skills needed, just something to tie your hair with. It’s fun, fast and easy.
All the things that make the basic ponytail great are also what makes it dull, and maybe inappropriate after a certain age. Yet, we all still want to have the option of wearing a ponytail.
Luckily, there are ways to spice up the boring ponytail to a point that it will become your favorite hairstyle from casual events to fancy parties.
Don’t worry, you won’t have to see a professional or ask a friend to help recreate these awesome ponytails. You can do them all by yourself and with no trouble at all. Follow these tutorials and flip the ponytail back again.
