If you always seem to be pulling your hair back into a ponytail, add a little style to your daily routine with one these easy ponytail modifications. It will only take a few extra minutes to try out one of these ponytail modifications.
The Wrap Around
One of the easiest ways to change-up your ponytail routine is with the wrap around. All you have to do is make your ponytail like usual, but keep out a one-inch section of hair right under your ponytail.
After you have secured your ponytail, take that one-inch section of hair and wrap it around your ponytail a couple of times. Secure it with a bobby pin once you can't wrap it anymore.
This will hide the rubber band keeping your hair in place, and will make it look like you secured your ponytail with your hair. It's simple and stylish all at once, and it will only take an extra minute to do.
The Wraparound Bow
For this hairstyle, you will first follow all the directions above for the wrap around.
Once you have secured the wrap-around, you are going to take two small sections of hair, about a half-inch to an inch wide, from inside of your ponytail. These sections should be from the top of your ponytail.
Once you have a hold of the two sections, you are basically just going to make a bow. Take one section and make a loop. Then wrap the other section of hair around the loop to create two separate loops. Then, use a hairpin to secure the loop in place.
This will make it look like you have a bow, made out of your hair, at the top of your ponytail. Once again, this extra addition will only take another minute or so to complete, and will give your hair a more finished and polished look.
Puff Ponytail
If you want something that looks more complicated and stylish, and have five or ten minutes to dedicate towards styling your hair, try out this puff, braid, and pony combo hairstyle.
Brush your hair back. Take the first two or three inches on both sides of your part and pull it back. Take that section and push it forward about an inch to create a "puff" and pin it in place.
You should still have a couple of inches of hair on both sides of your head. Take the hair on the right side and French braid it till it reaches the back of your head, and then secure it loosely with a rubber band.
Take the hair on the left side of your face and French braid it as well till it reaches the back of your hair. You don't have to pull all of your hair into the French braid.
Take both French braids, as well as any hair that is still down, and secure it with a rubber band in a low pony tail. If you want, you can even finish off this look with a little wrap around the ponytail.
This will create a stylish and sophisticated updo that will only take you less than ten minutes to complete.
If you want to add a little style to your routine, try one of the easy ponytail modifications listed above. If you want a little help with these hairstyles, you can always ask a stylist, like those at Donato Academy of Hairstyling and Aesthetics, to teach you how to create these styles.
