Two key details can elevate your ponytail game: the hair tie and the volume at the roots. A scruffy, old hair tie can bring down the whole look, so opt for a trendy, crunchy hair tie to add interest to your ponytail, or go for a thin, discreet hair tie that matches your hair color. Wrapping a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail is another elegant way to conceal the hair tie.
For the high ponytail, a sleek, tight look is best achieved with a smooth, flat contour at the crown. Alternatively, a center part can lend a touch of regal elegance. The mid-height ponytail is a popular choice, and it’s all about creating volume at the roots with a bit of backcombing for a carefree, Parisian-chic vibe.
The low ponytail is a timeless classic, easy to style, and lightweight. A gentle backcombing at the roots and a few face-framing tendrils complete this effortless, graceful look.
Donut Bun
There are two types of donut buns: the high, oversized bun that creates an unbalanced silhouette and is now passé, and the classic, low, or slightly higher bun with a natural, rounded shape that never goes out of style. The key difference is in the placement. The classic bun is usually positioned at the nape of the neck or just above it, with a few loose tendrils and harmonious accessories to complete the look.
Curly Hair with Bangs
The combination of curly hair and bangs can be a bold choice, as it tends to suit specific face shapes and styles. However, the current retro trend has brought this look back into the spotlight.
To make this style more versatile and elegant, tone down the curls. By nature, curly hair with bangs exudes a playful, untamed spirit.
