Fashionable twists to your ponytail

Have long luscious locks, but feeling the heat..? Or trying to out grow your short hair but find it hard to manage? Or perhaps your locks are looking out of shape and due for a trim!

Yes Divas.. I've been in all of those situations.. And now in the 'trying to grow out my short hair' problem.. You know the length where you get the annoying kink at the nape of your neck! I usually try manage that length by going for a perm.. But not doing it right can add another 15 years to your age!

Otherwise... I'll take an elastic band/ srunchie to manage my tresses.. Unglam as that sounds.. Until I found this article on Sugar that would help you girlies with the similar problem, while adding a fashionable twist to your ponytails! Yay! 

Casually Carefree

For the long fringe and oval faces, frame your face with layers for this casual yet classy look.. great for a day to night transformation!

  



After curling the hair with a wide-barreled iron, place your strands back into a ponytail just above the occipital bone. Leave a few layers out around the face for a playful finish

Sleek and Chic

The no fuss and effortless ponytail with a side sleek twist.. I even tried it out during a work day.. Great for achieving that no-nonsense corporate look as well as looking trendy!

  

To get the look, blow the hair out straight, applying a glossing serum to enhance shine. Once the hair is parted off to one side, just pull the rest of it back at a point right below the crown. Wrap a section of hair around the base of the ponytail for a chic finish

Bouncy Bouffant

My Favourite look of all! 1950's style bangs and coif hair, Miss Penelope really knows how to look sexy, sultry and elegant with a ponytail... and oh so suitable for a cocktail party or a dinner and dance.. Now all I need is to grow my hair longer to achieve this hair style! =)) 


For a truly voluminous take on the coiffure, consider adding some temporary extensions

Modern Classic

Another one of those hairstyles that can take you from work to play.. Especially useful for those 'bad hair' or 'no wash hair' days.. Put it up in a ponytail.. slick the bangs along the crown.. and ta-da.. you're all glamed up to go!


To re-create her style, simply tease the front of the hair, along with the crown. Then, smooth the hair with a fine-toothed comb before pulling it back
