If you needed a little reminder about just how cool pony hairstyles are, you’re in the right place! 

 

6 Chic & Effortless Ponytail Hairstyles

We’ve compiled a list of ponytail hairstyles that work for every mood, every outfit and every hair type, from curly and straight hair to short hair, and we have also attempted to include ponytail hairstyles for long hair. Whether you’re going to a party or even to your workplace, these hairstyles are chic and terribly easy to create. Read on to find the hairstyle you’re going to be rocking this weekend! 

 

Braided Ponytail

A braided ponytail is great for when you want your hair to stay put without having to put it up into a bun. It’s secure and elegant, making it a great choice for both festive and formal events. It works best as a pony hairstyle for long hair, and it also works well when you’re going to have a long day ahead. To keep your braid smooth and polished throughout your day, go in with an aloe based hair oil to keep your hair manageable. 

Here’s how you can make this hairstyle:

Step 1: Part your hair into sections (left and right).

Step 2: For one section, create three parts and make a tight braid. 

Step 3: Stop braiding once you reach the nape of your neck. 

Step 4: Get your favourite scrunchie and tie the rest of the hair of the braided section and the entire second section into a ponytail.

 

Voluminous Wavy Ponytail

Now, for something glam that’s perfect for a special occasion, the voluminous wavy ponytail is our favourite pick. The waves add some body and character to the classic ponytail, taking it up a notch. If you don’t have naturally wavy hair, you can use a curling wand to make waves; just don’t forget to use a heat protection serum before to protect hair from heat damage. 

Here’s how you can make this hairstyle:

Step 1: Get your curling wand and start making soft waves after applying a heat protectant.

Step 2: Once done, gather all your tresses into a loose ponytail and secure with a small hair tie.

Step 3: Take a strand of hair from the side and wrap it around the hair tie, tucking it in to secure it. This will give you that wrap-around ponytail effect. 

Step 4: For your crown, lightly tug at a few strands for a boost in volume. 

Step 5: Finally, pull out a few strands from your sides for a face-framing look, and you’re done!

 

Scarf Ponytail

If you’re headed out on a sunny day, it’s important to make sure your hair stays protected, but we also agree that you need to be looking your best. What better way to do both than wrapping a scarf around your ponytail? Match your scarf to your outfit and wrap it around – pure genius! You can even add an extra layer of protection with a coconut-based oil containing aloe vera. The aloe vera keeps your hair soft, while the coconut-based hair oil protects your locks from the sun. 

Here’s how you can make this hairstyle:

Step 1: Apply a generous amount of aloe vera coconut-based oil to your scalp and lengths. 

Step 2: Detangle and gather all of your hair into a ponytail. 

Step 3: Take a colourful scarf and tie it around your ponytail after wrapping it around a few times. 

Step 4: You can even tie your scarf into a bowtie for a cutesy touch.

 

Sleek High Ponytail

There’s nothing quite like high ponytail hairstyles to get you feeling bold and powerful.  A sleek high ponytail works beautifully for parties, dinners, fitness sessions, professional settings and even formal photoshoots. It oozes style and confidence that instantly sharpens your style. It’s also a great pony hairstyle if you want a clean look without any flyaways. 

Here’s how you can make this hairstyle:

Step 1: Apply a heat protectant to the lengths of your tresses.

Step 2: Get your hair straightener and straighten your hair in sections. 

Step 3: Gather all of your hair near the top of your crown and secure with a scrunchie.

Step 4: Smoothen out all your flyaways with some hair gel, and you’re ready to shine!

 

Half Ponytail

A half ponytail is a perfect ponytail hairstyle for when you need a middle ground between keeping your hair open and tying it up. It suits casual outings, date nights, college days or any day when you want a cute, youthful and relaxed vibe. Make loose, tousled curls to add a hint of style and elegance, but do go in with your heat protectant first! 

Here’s how you can make this hairstyle.

Step 1: Start with freshly washed hair, separating your tresses into top and bottom sections.

Step 2: Tie the top section up into a quick bun and set aside. 

Step 3: For the rest, get your curling iron and create loose curls in sections. 

Step 4: Once done, untie your top bun and follow it up by curling your top section.

Step 5: Finally, tie your top section into a ponytail and watch the magic unfold!

Floral Curly Ponytail

For weddings, festive occasions or outdoor celebrations, a floral curly ponytail is an absolute showstopper. It pairs perfectly as a bridal hairstyle as well. The curls add volume and bounce, while delicate flowers or floral accessories bring a romantic touch that feels dreamy and graceful. Curls tend to get frizzy, but applying aloe based hair oil keeps them glossy and well-defined. A curly ponytail also doubles as a great frizzy hairstyle. 

Step 1: Start by making two braids with some hair from each side of your head.

Step 2: Cross each braid over to the opposite side and secure with pins. 

Step 3: Let the rest of your curls fall naturally, or apply some curl cream for added definition. 

Step 4: Finally, get a gajra or some flowers of your liking and attach it just under your braids.

 

If you’re going to be rocking one of these ponytail hairstyles, you need to make sure your tresses stay nourished and protected. Always apply a generous amount of smoothening agent, such as aloe vera hair oil, before or after your hair wash or aloe vera gel to make sure your hair stays smooth. A great option would be the Parachute Advansed Aloe Vera Enriched Coconut Hair Oil, as the benefits of applying aloe vera on hair ensure your hair stays smooth and manageable. Apply 3-4 drops overnight or a few hours before you wash your hair for the best results. You can even go in with about 2 drops of the coconut-based oil with aloe vera and style your hair in your favourite pony hairstyle from the list.
