A long side ponytail is making waves this year. From the runways of New York City’s Fashion Week, at celebrity weddings, and of course all the Hollywood red carpet events and award shows.
They offer a lovely way to style your hair in a more formal fashion without appearing overly rigid. They are extremely appealing due to their fluidity and various styling possibilities.
#1: The Enchanting Jasmine Side Ponytail
This hairstyle evokes the charm of a Disney princess. It’s wonderfully soft, yet striking and elegant. This swept half pony elegantly drapes completely over one shoulder. If the hair is naturally curly, when wet, apply curl crème evenly and either diffuse or let your hair air dry after finger curling it into your preferred shape. If the hair is straight, use a ¾ inch curling iron, curl your entire head, and refrain from brushing the curls out.
Mist the hair with hairspray and shine spray for hold and luster. Choose which shoulder to style it on and gently push it to that side. Twist the hair into a soft side ponytail. Then secure it with bobby pins, starting from the bottom of your hairline and moving upwards. As you insert them to secure the hair, you can push it off to the desired side. Take the bobby pins and interlock them by positioning them in an x shape, with the lower hairline transitioning up to the top of the ponytail. Ensure the pins are crossed for a secure hold. Finish with hairspray for added shine and hold.
#2: Elegant Side Pony Featuring Detailed Braids
The elegant side pony featuring detailed braids is a chic and delightful hairstyle. It brings a hint of sophistication and grace. Explore this look that showcases small braids alongside a voluminous side ponytail. You can mix braids of various sizes for added texture and intrigue. This whimsical and enchanting appearance is perfect for both casual and formal events.
#3 The Elegant Chignon Side Ponytail
A rounded, heavy, geometric, cut beautifully frames the face. The longer bangs enhance the charm of your look.
#4: Side Ponytail in Art Deco Style
A creative geometric hairstyle featuring a side knot ponytail. To achieve this look, use Bumble and Bumble’s Styling Crème, Styling Lotion, Thickening Spray, Spray Shine, and Spray de Mode Hairspray or Classic Hairspray. This side ponytail is most suitable for very long, straight hair. The hair should have a good thickness, or you might need a weft or hairpiece to add volume on top.
#5: Elegant French Twist Side Ponytail
Very similar to The Jasmine-inspired side pony, this is a chic side ponytail option. It’s twisted in the back, resembling a French twist, so it’s directed toward the face to create a beautiful frame. When styling, use Bumble and Bumble’s Styling Lotion, Thickening Spray, Gloss Spray Shine, Spray de Mode, or Classic Hairspray. The side pony works well on most hair types, but it helps if the hair is finer and has some waves.
Long side ponytails look stunning on any face shape. They are a lovely way to put your hair up while still enjoying the length of your hair for that feminine and soft appearance. Ponies can be worn casually or formally, depending on your chosen style. And depending on your mood, you can wear it with subtlety or flair.
