7 Ways To Update A Spring Ponytail

Ah, the ponytail. From good to bad hair days and everything in between, the ponytail (whether its the basic one-elastic look or a more complicated, pretty ponytail hairstyle) has helped fashionistas everywhere master even their busiest days. But as schedules get busier and day-to-night looks become a huge part of wardrobes everywhere, the ponytail is making a major comeback. Effortlessly chic style is at the twist of a hairband, so start celebrating a time when leggings are welcomed and up-dos are honored.

Whether you're hiding from unwashed hair or showing off a fabulous accessory, the ponytail is the perfect go-to trend. On and off the runway, celebrities are showing the world the true power of the hair-tie. From the gym to the office to a night on the town, ponytails know no boundaries.

From slicked back red carpet trends to a low side-part look and everything in between, the pony is a great way to stay true to you and have a hassle-free hair night. Here, seven updated ponytails to try the next time you want to get your strands off your neck.

1. Show off statement makeup

With hair tied back and out of the way, it's the perfect opportunity to show off some great statement makeup. Whether your opting for a sultry eye or a bold colored lip, there's so many opportunities to embrace your best assets with the low-key look.

2. Elevate a simple look

The simplest of touches can completely make an outfit. Something as simple as a naturally-tied pony can take a daytime look all the way into the night. Keep the look straight during the day and loosely curl the ends before a night out to make getting ready for going out a breeze.

3. Show off an outfit

From trendy workout tops to red carpet cutouts, designers have given fashionistas everywhere yet another excuse to choose the ponytail as a go-to look. With hair up and out of the way there's no better time to show off a personally detailed ensemble.

4. Make an elegant outfit casual

Not sure what to wear to a last-minute party decision? The ponytail is here to help. Put on an elegant dress and throw the hair up in a messy up-do. You won't have to worry about looking too dressed up or down and you won't be constantly trying to tame your locks all night.

5. Highlight a sporty look

The athleisure look is in full swing, and ponytails are an easy way to land the trend. Paired with a sweater layered over a t-shirt or committing to a fully-sporty look, a true trendy look can be achieved in a twist of the wrist.

6. Twist it back for comfort

The comfort of the up-do knows no boundaries. With guys even getting into the trend, even celebrities are coming to terms with the comfort and easy of a good pony. Man-buns have become a thing as well, and girls could learn a thing or two from the way some of these men master the look.

7. Leave it loose

Some of the greatest hairstyles are the ones that make the undone look seem like it was done on accident. By leaving the style loose and bringing down a few strands of hair, even the most hectic of days don't seem so bad.
