We all know putting your hair up in a ponytail is a great solution for a bad hair day, but that doesn't need to be the only time you wear one! Fashionistas everwhere have been seen wearing ponytails for events and parties. Think Gisele Bundchen, Lauren Conrad and Gossip Girl's Michelle Trachtenburg, just to name a few! Whether you want a a sleek, polished look for your pony or a messy, "just got off the beach" style, we have the inspiration for you! Here are some tips on how to make your ponytail perfect too:- Make sure your hair is clean! Unlike an updo style , pony's work better with freshly washed hair - Damp hair makes for a tighter hold and traps in shorter hair as it dries!- Make sure your hair is as straight as possible before you begin - a blow-dryer, flattening iron or straightening balm are a must-have!- Experiment with different ponies and find out which look is the most flattering for you face, high, low, side or with a fringe for example!
