And whether I’m going to the gym, or attending a party – I’ve found that there’s a ponytail style to fit every occasion.

So, in this post, I want to show you how ponytails can be customized to suit any hair type – I’ll cover curly and wavy ponytails too.

Bold and playful, this high ponytail with bubble sections is an instant head-turner.

I like that each bubble is evenly spaced, and it adds a nice voluminous effect to an otherwise simple ponytail.

You can use gel if you have natural hair and want to avoid strays – I do it and it works like a charm.
