Whoever said ponytails were boring hadn’t seen some of the styling options they give you.

Actually it takes precious little imagination and just enough length to turn your basic ponytail into many elegantly different hair styles.

What’s to say you can’t use these cool ponytail hairstyle tips that follow to create an easy, breezy and ultra-stylish look? Appropriate for a girls night out, after work rendezvous, or just formal looking enough for your best friend’s wedding even.

For example pull your hair into a pony. Split that tail in two and wrap the two sections around each other. Use bobby pins to hold the ends to the base. Done.

Here’s an easy to wear and seemingly simple-to-create option. Collect about half your tresses into what you’d call a half pony. Wrapping that creates a loose bun that’s held in place with pins. How’s that for quick and easy.

Double the elegance with two tails. Put about half of your locks into a high pony. With the remaining hair go ahead and create a second right under that.

Variation on that double theme. Create two pony tails as before only leave a few random pieces hanging down loose. Pin and twist each into a bun.

Smooth your hair into a low side pony leaving a thick enough strand out. Wrap that strand around the elastic and pin in place.

Okay what else? Well this dressy look can be created if you’ve got enough length. Do your low pony, pull the end through the elastic three times and on the third pass just pull it half way through spreading what’s left out on top.

Using a cute ponytail holder comb your hair back. Then slip hair sticks into your hair just under the holder to create a style with an air of mystery.

Style your pony with bangs: If you have thick bangs or side swept bangs then this simple faux hawk style can be tried on for size. All you have to do is pull back your hair in to a pony and then make a puff with bangs using bobby pins or clips.

Or you could combine braids with a pony as another way to go. Do your typical low pony tail. Braid that. Then twist the braid into a bun which is held in place with pins.

Create a high pony and apply conditioner to your wet hair. Back comb your hair to put it in to a high pony. Let things air dry. Once again back comb the top of pony for some volume. Leave some strands out when doing the high pony leaving them to frame your face. Gives a soft feminine look to your face.
