Ponytail hairstyle: types and fashion trends

At all times, among the fair sex, such a hairstyle as a ponytail is considered one of the most comfortable. However, it can be not only comfortable, but also beautiful and truly varied. Not all young ladies know which tail option will look best on their length and structure of the strands. In addition, few are familiar with the current trends in ponytail hairstyles. To clarify all these nuances, read the material presented in this article.

Before moving on to more specific and complex varieties of the tail, you should familiarize yourself in detail with what such a hairstyle can be. The characteristics of the simplest options are as follows.

• High tail - all strands are usually neatly collected at the top of the back of the head or at the crown. This hairstyle requires a tight elastic band to match the natural hair color. Alternatively, you can hide the elastic under the strand.

• A more versatile option is a low ponytail. It is done at the base of the back of the head and can decorate curls of any length. In the case of long hair, more elastic bands can be used for a subtle effect, and short strands are sometimes brushed back with additional styling products for a more austere look.

• For medium to long hair, the tail is located in the middle of the back of the head. This option can be made with fleece, carelessly released strands or curled curls.In the classic form, these are just smoothly combed curls without parting.

• Often the tail is combined with a braid of two or three strands.... This element is braided from the hairline in a straight or oblique direction, to the base of the tail.

• To maintain the length of the hair, some young ladies resort to creating such a hairstyle as a double ponytail. Here, at the back of the head, two tails are made - one below the other, at a not very large distance from each other. In this case, the hair should be lush and voluminous so that the strands of the upper tail pass into the lower ones as smoothly as possible.

For modern young ladies who lead an active lifestyle and keep up with fashion, it is worth familiarizing yourself with women's hairstyles, the popularity of which will be relevant at least for a whole year.

• A high ponytail on long, straight hair is done at the crown, leaving one strand to be wrapped around the base, masking the elastic and making the hairstyle more neat. This option is also complemented by thin pigtails that are braided from the hairline and go into the base.

• If your curls are not so long, or you just don't like tall hairstyles, look for a trend like a low ponytail with a parted part. The base is also closed with a strand previously released from the total mass. It is allowed to diversify such a hairstyle with a side parting.

• Styling with pile looks very stylish and modern. The strands should be combed with a comb, paying special attention to the crown area, and then collected in a ponytail at the middle level.

• Long-haired beauties will love such ultra-fashionable hairstyles as curls gathered high together. It is enough just to fix the strands on the crown of the head, wrap the elastic with a strand released in advance, and then create large curls.

• A slightly sloppy low tail does not go out of the list of modern trends. It is most often done from the side and is sometimes paired with accessories such as invisibility. With the help of invisibility, pinned crosswise, you can style the part of the hair that is on the side of the parting.

In addition to the usual hairstyle patterns, there are also unique ideas that can also be brought to life.

Splendor on the crown and temples is not only the decoration of the usual tail on the back of the head, but also an original technique that helps short young ladies appear taller. To use it correctly, a tail with a raised crown must be done according to the following strategy:

1. brush off the front of the hair, creating a parting from temple to temple;
2. gather the lower part of the hair into a ponytail in the middle of the occipital region;
3. comb the upper one layer by layer, and carefully lay back, wrapping its end around the lower base;
4. be sure to sprinkle the result with varnish.

A hairstyle based on weaving of a spikelet looks very romantic. It is performed as follows.

1. In the area of ​​the temples, begin to weave a braid, which is called a "fishtail" or "inverted spikelet", gradually weaving strands into it from the sides and directing the braiding towards the upper part of the back of the head.
2. Lightly fluff the resulting braid from the side.
3. Secure the entire mass of hair, along with the part where the braid will continue, at the back of the head. At the same time, wrap the strands for the braid with a small elastic band so that they do not get confused with the rest.
4. Next, you need to continue weaving the same spikelet, no longer weaving additional strands into it, but continuing to fluff up to create a more voluminous result.

You can also make a Dutch braid weave:

1. divide your hair into two parts along the line of the upper sections of the temples;
2. fix the upper area with a special clip-type hairpin;
3. braid the Dutch braid, pulling the strands slightly to create a fuller hairstyle at the top of the head;
4. remove the clip and gather the bottom of the braid along with the rest of the hair into a high ponytail;
5. the result will be an excellent evening option for going to the club or on a date.

Braided hairstyles include a beautiful braid made from a ponytail using a regular pencil. It is performed as follows.

1. Gather the strands at the back of your head and tuck the pencil under your hair just above the base of the ponytail.
2. Then pass the strands from both sides over the pencil, following the bottom-top direction.
3. Divide each of these parts in two, and combine those strands that are closer to the center into one, and begin to weave the braid. It should be created from the mass of hair in the tail like a regular spikelet and fixed with a discreet thin elastic band.
4. Carefully remove the pencil and secure the resulting volumetric part at the top, using invisible pins or hairpins.
5. The lower part of the braid must be hidden under the volumetric one, and also secured with hairpins.

The spikelet can be combined with the tail in a rather unusual way, for example, if it is located in the region from the neck to the base of the tail at the crown of the head. To do this hairstyle, follow these steps:

1. tilt your head forward and carefully comb the curls;
2. start to weave a spikelet from the neck and upward (on its own, such weaving can be quite difficult to do neatly, so find an assistant);
3. at the crown of the head, the lower braiding should be combined with the rest of the hair.

A bumpy tail is an interesting hairstyle that you can do with your own hands on long hair using a special roller. Having collected the hair at the crown, you need to put a roller on the base. Gently distributing the strands along the roller, part of the hair must be separated from the center and fixed. Next, an elastic band is put on the roller, which should be hidden under the tips of the curls. The strand in the central part of the bundle should be left loose, if desired, twisted with a curling iron.

If you want the curls in the tail to look atypical, then make a texture option. It is created in the lateral low tail. Before collecting the hair, you need to process it with a corrugation attachment and comb it lightly at the roots and in the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe temples.

With a side parting, secure the hair at the bottom under the ear, leaving the near-front section slightly protruding. The entire mass of hair in the tail should be curled with a curling iron in such a way that the ends remain untwisted, and then comb, beat slightly with your fingers, and treat with a fixing agent.

Some hairstyles do not look like a ponytail, but at the same time they are made on its basis, and are not so difficult to create, although they look quite laborious at first glance. Basically, these options are relevant for medium or long hair, since they require a sufficient mass of strands. The following options are most relevant.

• Twisted tail - a hairstyle created on the basis of low gathered hair. The back of the strands is collected here, while the side curls remain intact. They are twisted into spirals with a curling iron, and then symmetrically wrapped around the base, alternating with each other. Such a simple concept complements the original evening look.

• Long hair can also be pinned to the side, below the ear, and covered with a strand of hair left beforehand. Next, step back from the base a few centimeters, and drag the tail in this place with a silicone rubber band to match the hair color. Divide the strands of the section between the elastic bands in two and pass the remaining tail through them, as if turning it inside out.Then repeat the same action a few more times - with the rest of the hair.

• On the basis of a low ponytail, you can make an interesting hairstyle that will not allow strands to break out during vigorous activity. Secure the ponytail at the bottom of the back of the head with a tight elastic band and divide the mass of hair into three strands. The braid needs to be woven in such a way that the middle strand is alternately pushed between the holes created by the fingers in the side strands.

• Hairstyle "lanterns" suitable for young ladies with hair, the length of which is the same on all parts of the head. The upper part of the hair is collected at the back of the head and secured with an elastic band, then an indent of a few centimeters is made, strands are collected on the sides, and again attached to the central one with an elastic band. In this case, the area between the joints is slightly fluffed up.

If you are unsure which ponytail to choose for your hair length and texture, look at successful ready-made examples of creating a similar hairstyle.

• Selecting sections of a straight tail with elastic bands, you can stretch them in a non-standard way by adding strands of different thicknesses or making the original symmetry.

• The low ponytail, made by turning inside out technology, can be styled with a round hair clip.

• The double-sided weaving of French braids, gathered together not very high, and decorated with a fabric elastic band with a print, looks really gentle.

• Instead of just wrapping a strand around the base of the low ponytail, you can disguise the elastic by creating a bow out of the hair.
