28 Ponytail Hairstyles Giving Your WFH Hair A High Fashion Overhaul
Get your Rapunzel pony on.
No longer reserved purely for bad hair days or post gym, the humble ponytail is the super chic red carpet hairstyle that everyone from Beyoncé to Elle Fanning are obsessed with.
Whether it's the Emmy Rossum power pony, Rita Ora's embellished low ponytail or Zendaya's epic natural texture updo, it's safe to say ponytail hairstyles are having a moment.
So what's the 2021 update on a classic ponytail? 'Sleek up to the knot with no hair out of place,' says celebrity hairstylist Paul Edmonds. 'The knot has to be worn lower than before, with back combing to give extra volume - this year's ponytail is all about volume.'
When in doubt, add accessories to your pony. 'Diamanté hair accessories are du rigueur this awards season. Try using an old brooch or even some diamanté clips or grips,' advises Edmonds.
If you're looking to reinvent your day-to-day ponytail, check out our round up of the all time best celebrity ponytail hairstyles helping you to elevate that school girl pony, to an A-list updo.
Miley Cyrus
Miley has officially moved on from her mullet. Well, sort of... The singer stepped out with her choppy shag hair pulled up into a mohawk-style ponytail and we're weirdly feeling Cyrus' badass new look.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian gifted her followers with the ultimate work from home high ponytail - and looked eerily like Ariana Grande at the same time. The Skims founder opted for a more low key look than her usual, working an ash brown super high plushy ponytail that perfectly matched her sheer polo shirt.
Kylie Jenner
The make-up mogul and Kardashian Klan member took to Instagram to reveal the inspiration behind the plushy high ponytail she wore to the premiere of Netflix's 'Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly'. Her hair muse? None other than friend and model, Bella Hadid at the 2019 VMAs. Jenner wrote on her stories, '@bellahadid with the hair inspo' as she showed off her copycat bombshell ponytail.
Bella Hadid
The supermodel wore her newly golden blonde hair in a big and bouncy high ponytail for the 2019 VMAs. With a strong side parting, curled under ends and perfectly blown out lengths, we're dubbing it 'The Plushy Ponytail'. Can anyone else feel a trend coming on?
