The low ponytail has remained popular for more than one season, but in the spring and summer of 2015, this hairstyle is experiencing a real peak in popularity. Low ponytails were presented by couturiers on their models at major fashion shows. Under the influence of high fashion, women of all ages began to increasingly appear with such hairstyles at social events, film screenings and simply on the streets of the city.
Fashionistas love the low ponytail no less than bun hairstyles, because it’s easy and quick to do. In addition, it is ideal for any look: for work, shopping, a date or outing with friends. If you also want to be on trend, we offer you several options on how to make a low ponytail.
Low ponytail with braid
From the very base of the hair growth in the front, start braiding the braid, grabbing strands on the sides. Usually this weaving is called a “spikelet”. Without finishing the braid, secure all remaining hair with an elastic band and spray with hairspray.
This hairstyle goes well with torn jeans, sneakers or brogues, white and colored shirts. In makeup, you can focus on the eyes and eyebrows.

A voluminous fishtail can be done best on long hair. It is ideal to perform this hairstyle on the second or third day after washing your hair, when the hair is more manageable. If your hair is prone to oiliness, you can use dry shampoo first. SalonSecret experts recommend the professional product Morning After Dust. L'Oréal Professionnel .
- Take a small section of hair high at the back of your head and divide it into two parts. Cross them over each other.
- Grab a third strand from the main body of hair and weave it into the crossed strands. Throw a strand up - this will be your extra strand.
- On the opposite side of your head, grab another additional strand - you can use a special comb with a thin handle.
- Intertwine the captured strand with the main strands, fold back in the same way as step 2.
- Continue braiding, catching, weaving into the main strands and throwing away additional strands. Repeat this action 7 times so that you get 3 folded strands on one side and 4 on the other.
- Take the topmost folded strand from the side where you have four strands, add a lock of hair to it from the main body of hair on the same side. Pass the folded strand through the hair, and pass the strand under the hair. Fold the resulting combined strand up as you did earlier.
- Repeat the same action on the opposite side. Then do this one by one with the rest of the folded strands, each time starting from the top one.
- Having reached the hairline at the back of the head, continue braiding without hooks, as in a regular braid.
- Use a fine-handled comb to add volume to your strands. Spray your hair with hairspray.
Straightened low ponytail
To create such an elegant ponytail, your hair must be perfectly straight. Before styling, apply a straightening agent to them and straighten them with an iron. Separate a large section of hair from the top and secure it with a hairpin. Braid the ponytail at the back. Close the elastic band with the remaining unbraided hair in a crisscross pattern.
This hairstyle will go well with an off-the-shoulder dress and highlight your beautiful neck and shoulders. Pair it with long earrings that will become an additional accent to your look.
The tail is behind us. Hair trend options from classic to funny
In spring, you don’t want to spend a lot of time on your hair. A democratic ponytail will allow you to look super stylish in any situation. Both models from the shows of Jil Sander, Valentino, Michael Kors, and celebrity celebrities have repeatedly convinced us of this.
A neat, smooth ponytail is the main hair trend of this season. To make your hair shine and look natural, smooth it with wax or gel. For example, Lebel Japonica professional hair products will help you with this.
A ponytail with woven strands and braids is a more complex hairstyle option. Another version of this modest trend is the garland ponytail: bouffants alternate with elastic bands, forming “lanterns”. The corrugated curl along the entire length of the tail hair also looks impressive.
To add variety to your hairstyle, tie your hair with a ribbon or make a fashionable side parting or parting. For a sporty-chic look, wear a headband under your ponytail, as seen on the Victoria Beckham show.

A loop tail without a backcomb looks neat and noble. Tie your hair into a ponytail and pull it through the elastic to make a loop. Give your hair a trendy, glamorous look by wrapping strands around the base of a loop ponytail, like the looks from the Nicholas K collection.
A sporty version of the loop ponytail was proposed by Marc Jacobs stylists. The tail needs to be secured to the top of the head, and then raised into a kind of bun and secured with a hairpin. An easier way to create a loop is to tuck the tail under the headband, like in the Vera Wang show. To make straight hair in a loop look more voluminous, you can do a little backcombing.

The sleek low ponytail has become a runway favorite this spring. An even parting, glossy smoothness of hair and an elegant clip will turn the ponytail into an ideal hairstyle for the evening. A simple headband, like in the looks from the Valentino show, will help create a romantic look. This seemingly light hairstyle requires careful styling and fixation. You can achieve a mirror shine using a straightening iron and hair oil.
Create a sleek low ponytail and secure it with a leather braid at the base to feel like a model from the Carolina Herrera runway. A glossy ponytail looks unusual if you secure it with a long tube clip, like at the Jil Sander show. Or pull your strands into a low ponytail, as seen in the Alexander Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg shows, for a natural, relaxed look.

A false ponytail is a fashion accessory designed to create a wow effect among others. Stylist Guido Palau completely rethought the concept of a high ponytail at the Dior show. He attached artificial strands to his usual hairstyle on colored and metal rings. Not long ago, Balmain Hair Couture presented an advertising campaign in which all hairstyles were created using false ponytails and strands.
So feel free to use clip-in curls. Choose any shades - from exotic to natural, as long as they are not tone on tone. From now on, artificial curls are an opportunity to try a new playful look without harming your own hair.
