The ultimate hairstyle chameleon, ponytails can be polished, playful, bohemian or sleek, and they work just as well during the day as they do at night. Think of them as the most versatile style you can try. 

Here are five different examples of wearable styles to try now:

Half-up ponytail

Part ponytail, part down-do, this style adds height while leaving length loose for a softer finish. Ariana Grande often wears a half-up version for a more relaxed, off-duty spin on her signature high pony. It’s a great option when you want your hair away from your face but still want movement.

Bubble ponytail

This playful style uses evenly spaced hair ties down the length of your ponytail to create rounded “bubbles.” Blake Lively has worn it on the red carpet, proving it’s just as fun for evening as it is for daytime. Perfect for adding texture and personality to simple outfits.

Bohemian ponytail

Loose waves, face-framing tendrils and maybe even a braid or two make this ponytail relaxed yet romantic. It’s low-maintenance and works brilliantly with natural texture (especially if it’s been enhanced with a little Air Dry Spray). 

High ponytail

Sleek, lifted and full of megawatt energy, a high ponytail elongates the face, creates a snatched look, and gives instant polish. Use a strong-hold hairband and Almost Everything Cream to keep it sleek all day.

Braided ponytail

Pulling your braids up into a ponytail is always a good idea. Zendaya is a great celebrity to seek inspiration from – especially when she wears them ultra-long.
