This one is an easy and cute back to school kind of hairstyle. It can be done quickly if you have straight or wavy hair but takes some time if you have curly hair. If you have straight or curly hair, iron your hair flat until it is straight from root to tip. And if you have curly hair, brush off those curls with the help of hair dryer and boar bristle brush. When they are a little relaxed, flat iron it straight. After your hair is as straight as a stick, center part your hair and sweep your hair into a semi-loose ponytail gently. Secure it with a ribbon, low enough for your hair to fall over your both ears. Tadah!

Take the gel of the size of a quarter and apply it from the hairline to the base of your tail. This will add shine to your ponytail and calm any flyways. Gather your hair in a low pony and tie it with a band. Now take a strand from under your pony and secure it tightly around the band. That’s it.

Well, this hairstyle is exquisite but a little time consuming as well. You must have seen many models walking the ramp with this hairstyle. It is the double-sided French twist, leading to a super low ponytail with a thin elastic band holding it securely at the nape of their neck. For this hairstyle keep a little time on your side. Part your hair down the center. Work with one side of the hair at a time. Along your hairline, twist back your hair. This will create the French twist. Secure with the bobby pins and do the same with the other side. Now for the remaining parts of your hair, flat iron it so that the tail lies smoothly from the twist down. Secure it with the elastic band.

This one is very pretty indeed, has a bubbly look as the name says and is not quite as complicated as it looks. Impress everyone in your school with this exquisite looking ponytail hairstyle. It works well if you have at least medium length hair and best with long hair. This pony is the Olivia Wilde’s cool take on the ponytail. For recreating this look, you must first pull up your hair and secure it with a clear elastic band at the crown of your head.

Pouf out each section by pulling the hair gently and this will create the bubble effect.

For this ponytail hairstyle, you would need hair gel, a boar bristle brush, hair iron, and leather or metallic embellished string. To begin, apply gel over your hair. Then brush it down with the boar bristle brush and create a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure it with a clear elastic band. Now flat iron your hair for making the length of your ponytail extremely straight. Lastly, wrap the base of the pony with the leather or metallic string. Avoid using plain black string with black hairs as it will merge with the hair color.

Nicki Minaj often sports this ponytail. It not only keeps the hair off her beautiful face but also gives the illusion of a hair down style when swept over her shoulders. It looked best if you have long hair. This is the easiest of all ponytails. Brush your hair and gather it up high on the crown. Secure it with the elastic band. Flatiron the tail to straighten them and then from under the tail grab a small section of hair and wrap it around the base over the band and secure it with the pin.

Textured hair is still trending, so you have the option of having a not flat ironed tail. Instead, you can go for a slightly wavy ponytail. Start with brushing back your hair away from your face and pull it in a low ponytail. Secure it with a band. Now for adding the loose waves, hold the 1 inch curling iron perpendicular to your hair. Now wrap the sections around the barrel. Don’t let the hair touch the curling iron for too long. Now apply some salt spray for the beach look.

The trick for recreating Blake Lively's ponytail isn’t as hard as it looks. For doing this look, part your hair in three sections, one at the crown, second at the middle and third at the base of your head. Now first gather the top section of the hair and make it into a ponytail. Secure it with a band and wrap a section of your hair around the band. It will not only hide the band but will also make it look polished. Gather the middle section and combine it in the pony with the tail of the top section, secure it with the band and again wrap a section of the pony around the band. Lastly, gather the lowest section and combine it with the tail of the pony, securing it with the band and wrapping the section of your hair around it like the previous two steps. You will get three sections in the ponytail. Pull hairs from each section lightly and gently to create the pouf and you are good to go.

For the fuller braid look gently pull out the edges of the braid. For adding more volume and a messy look, tease the tail.

Yes, ponytails can both be formal and elegant and cute as anything, if you didn’t know that already. For this one, tease your hairs a little, especially around the crown and the front of your head.

The big bouncy curls will add the sophistication to the ponytail. Put on some hairspray for securing your hairdo and accentuate your face with a pair of chandelier earrings.

We have talked a lot about wrapping the section from under the tail over the band for a classy look. Now we will do the braid wrap for a very stylish look.

Now pull your hair in the ponytail and secure it with the band. Take the braided section, open the band and wrap it around the base of the ponytail over the band. Pin the braid with a bobby pin to secure it. And yes, you can flaunt this hairstyle at school!

Messy ponytails look exceedingly sexy especially if you have medium length hair or even better if you have long hair.

Tease the tail a little for adding the volume and getting that messy look. Your hairstyle will look effortless and very cool.

This is another amazing ponytail hairstyle. Part your hair in two sections starting at the crown. Now divide the upper section into two parts from the middle. Twist one section and secure it with the bobby pin. Now twist the other side all the way to the other side where you will be making the ponytail and secure it as well. Now gather all hair on the side at the nape of the neck and secure it with the elastic band. Then release the bobby pin from each side or you can let the pins stay for keeping the tail secured.

Braids and ponytails are very feminine and flirty, especially when combined. Be it a casual outing, a party or date, this is a perfect hairstyle for all occasions. For this hairstyle tease your hair at the top to make a slight pouf. Then pull your hair back with your fingers. Now, loosely frame your hair into French braid down to the nape of the neck.

Gently pull some hairs out from the braid for a little sexy look.

This is one elegant ponytail for those who don’t want it either too simple or too complicated. For this hairstyle, you must first curl your hair with one and a quarter inch curling rods. This will add volume to your hair. Section your hair from the crown along the ears all the way down. Make sure you leave enough hairs on both the sides along the hairline. Tease your hairs a little at the crown and tie it into a loose ponytail. Secure it with a rubber band. Keep some bobby pins handy. Now divide the hairs on both the sides into two sections. Grab the upper section and pin it at the point where you have secured the ponytail. Grab the top sections from the other side and pin it slightly above the first one. Again from the other side grab the remaining part and pin it under the ponytail. Do the same with the other side. It’s done.

For a sleek look try keeping the braid as tight as possible. You can do a lot of different varieties of the fishtail. You can make the fishtail on a section on one side and then sweep it along with the remaining hairs on the other side and make a low ponytail. Also, you can make a high ponytail and braid just one section in the middle into a French braid. Or you can even make a low fishtail ponytail, which is perfect for keeping your hair out of your face at school.

This one is really easier that it looks. To do it, tip your hair upside down, brush and start with the French braid. When you have reached the crown, hold it in your fist tightly and throw back your hair. If the front is a little messy brush it out and secure it with a rubber band.

This has been in fashion for a long long time. Part your hair in two sections just a little below your crown.
