11 ponytails we’re obsessed with at the moment

A high ponytail can do no wrong, even on the red carpet. Blake Lively’s signature ponytail most likely involves hair extensions matched to her hair colour for added texture and length, but any mid to long hair length than achieve a similar look.

The Duchess of Cambridge proves that a ponytail can be practical and pretty in one. Get this hairstyle by pulling your lengths back loosely into a low ponytail, then wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic band to hide it. Volume at the back of the head is key.

JLo’s high ponytail looks incredibly chic, and almost like a half-up half-down hairstyle all thanks to the multitude of hair extensions starting from the crown of her head.

One way to trick up an ordinary high ponytail is by wrapping a piece of hair from the front of your head back and around the hair tie, as proven by singer Gwen Stefani.

Here’s how to add texture without using a straightener or curler: Tie several hair elastics around small sections down the length of your ponytail.

For those with wavy or curly hair, copy Halle Berry by simply pulling your hair back into a low ponytail that starts from the nape of your neck. Opt for a hair tie in a similar shade to your hair colour for a seamless effect.

One way to show off larger earrings is with a low ponytail, as seen on Nicole Kidman. To conceal a larger forehead, take a small section from each side of your face and loosely curl it to mimic a fringe.

Gwyneth’s ponytail style works well when you’re in-between hair washing days. Simply part your hair in the centre then comb it back into a neat, slick ponytail.

We’re completely mesmerised by this hairstyle worn by Britt Robertson. The combination of elegant French twists styled into a cool-girl inspired mohawk, and finished with a shine serum is stunning.

Looking for a more glamorous take on the ponytail? Try this hairstyle as seen on Megyn Kelly at the Met Gala by adding some jewelled clips beside your hair tie for an eye-grabbing detail.

Another way to add texture to your ponytail is to split it in two, twist each section individually, then wrap the two together like Zoe Saldana has for her red carpet appearance.
