Low ponytail, a timeless fashion
What is the strong point of the low ponytail? Its simplicity, there is no doubt about it. Making it requires care and attention, but it is an extremely easy hairstyle to replicate. In short, you don't need expert hands: to make a low ponytail you don't have to be a prodigy with hair. It is the perfect hairstyle for women who struggle to juggle their hair. Practicality is the secret of its success, capable of transcending fashions and eras. Even the supermodels of the moment flaunt it with class parading on the most prestigious catwalks. Cool and refined at the same time, the low tail never ceases to please and women of any age cannot do without it. For any occasion, the low tail is right for you. You can choose it in your free time or to more comfortably do the many everyday chores, without being bothered by hair fluttering here and there. Follow Kylie Minogue's example...
Not only that, in ceremonies it is the right hairstyle to be elegant and chic, without sacrificing a touch of glamour. Try it also in view of your favorite party or to make a mark during a night out with friends. On the most important catwalks stars like Kendall Jenner have chosen the low ponytail, customizing it with small tufts that contour the sides of her face and embellished with the trend of the moment, the bubble ponytail.
How to make it
Ponytail or low ponytail, that's the dilemma. If you love close-cropped hair, why not try both? Depending on the occasion, you can sport the hairstyle you prefer. And if you opted for the low ponytail, here's how to achieve it.
It especially suits oval and rectangular faces and remains a favorite choice for so many women. To perform it best, start by taking care of your hair. Then, don't forget to apply a conditioner to smooth the hair cuticle. Then part your hair with the help of a comb and, if desired, highlight the center or side parting. Finally, to secure the low ponytail, you simply brush the hair starting at the nape of the neck and continuing in the direction you desire. Then secure the strands with a rubber band. If you prefer it not to show, use a small strand of hair to cover it. Using bobby pins, position the hair carefully so that the elastic is completely hidden.
If you want to make your hairstyle more original, opt for the wet effect (beloved by the celebrities of the moment) or embellish your look by focusing on accessories. On the other hand, if you love the nineties, do not give up two front wisps left loose (so loved by, among others, Kendall Jenner). To give the hairstyle a more dynamic touch, move your tail sideways. If you prefer a more classic and elegant taste, however, the traditional low ponytail is for you.
