Best hairstyles with a high ponytail

High ponytails are one of the styles that never go out of fashion. Versatile, comfortable and enhancing, they are suitable for all occasions, from a casual everyday look to an elegant style at special events. Moreover, the tight effect highlights our face and brings out our features more naturally, and can even be out saving grace on a bad hair day.

Today we are going to take a look at some high ponytail hairstyles, which you can resort to on any occasion, especially during the summer months. Wavy high ponytail, tousled look high ponytail, shiny look high ponytail, … there are so many to choose from! Let’s take a look at them!
 

Wavy high ponytail 

The wavy high ponytail has become one of the most popular hairstyles. There are many ways to do this hairstyle, but the common key to all wavy high ponytails is to make some well-defined waves with the help of hair tongues, and once they are set in place using a hair band and clips, to undo them using a wide-tooth comb. It never fails. Don’t forget though, that before you use any moulding instruments, you should always apply some heat protector. 

Shiny high ponytail

The shiny high ponytail is just as elegant as it is sophisticated. It is characterised by tying our hair up at the top of our head with perfectly straight hair, pulled tight without any loose locks. You can do this style with or without a parting, but the key to the shiny high ponytail is securing your hair tightly from the roots to the ends. How? Using hair wax, gel, serums and hairspray to set your hair without sticking it or flattening it... and without leaving any kind of residue so that your ponytail is loose and shiny.

Bubble ponytail

Bubble ponytails have been one of the most popular styles for several years now... and it’s hardly surprising! Depending on how you do it, it can be the perfect look for a wedding, or the look that is undoubtedly the trend setter at summer festivals. If you want to cover up the rubber bands that you use to make the bubbles, you can leave some loose locks of hair and wrap them around the bands a few times to completely cover them, and then hold them in place using some small hair clips. 

High ponytail and plait hairstyle 

A high ponytail and plait style is an interesting choice, since it combines the elegance of a high ponytail and the versatility of a plait or braid. There are different versions. One of them consists of tying our hair up in a tight, shiny ponytail, and then plaiting our hair right down to the ends. This is a firm, comfortable look, and it also makes us look younger.

High ponytail with volume 

A high ponytail with volume gives us more height and visually lengthens our face. It is a glamorous look, particular suitable for events where we want to stand out. You just need to tie your hair up in a high ponytail and give some volume to the top of your head. You can do this by back-combing the area around your crown, or using styling products. 

Tousled look high ponytail

The tousled look high ponytail is perfect for partying or a day at the office. What is the key? To give a little volume to your roots for a more casual look. As in the previous case, you can back-comb your hair a little using a pintail comb, although the finish should not be too elaborate or shiny, but more natural looking. To achieve this look you can do some tousled waves or even go for a slightly crazier texture using styling water or styling hair powder. It's up to you!

Ponytail without hair band

So you want a ponytail without a hair band? That's right! All you need to do is gather up your hair as if you were doing a normal ponytail, but instead of using a hair band, take a lock of your own hair to tie it up. You will have to wrap it around the base of the ponytail and secure it using hair clips, which will remain hidden. It is a very discreet look, but suits everyone.
