I have been a ponytail lover ever since I can remember. For me, the simple style ticks all the boxes. It’s quick, easy and I can adjust it depending on my mood. But as avid ponytail wearers probably know, this five-minute hairstyle can get boring after a while. At some point, it can feel like putting your hair up in the same style you wear to the gym just isn’t sophisticated enough for work. Not to mention the potential damage if you constantly use hair ties. To this, my friends, I say that all you need is a little education.
Red carpets are a place where ponytails are dressed up in ways we don’t often see. From long, flowing styles to messy, effortless looks, hairstylists are coming up with some truly imaginative (and truly chic) versions of this classic hairstyle. That’s why I enlisted celebrity hairstylist and OGX brand ambassador Jesus Guerrero and celebrity hairstylist and Maui Moisture brand ambassador Nikki Nelms to walk us through some of the most iconic ponytails they’ve created for their A-list clients. Each of these stylists has a portfolio full of the most enviable stolen bangs, so you know they have endless knowledge to take your look from basic to beautiful in no time.
