The wrap around<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" class=\"wp-image-49809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wrap-around-ponytail.jpg\" alt=\"Wrap-around Ponytail\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wrap-around-ponytail.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wrap-around-ponytail-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: Style.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Remember this old favorite? All you need is a few bobby pins and a hair elastic. Here\u2019s how you create it:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Smooth your hair back to a medium height ponytail using a bit of hairspray or light gel to curb your flyaways.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then grab a small portion of your pony tail from the bottom.<\/li>\r\n<li>Wrap that section around the base numerous times, pinning as you go.<\/li>\r\n<li>You\u2019ll only need three or four bobby pins for a firm hold. Pin a couple partway through your wrap and then two more to hold down the ends.<\/li>\r\n<li>You may need to smooth the wrapped section to cover the pins.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add a headband<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" class=\"wp-image-49810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/headband-ponytail.jpg\" alt=\"Headband Ponytail\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/headband-ponytail.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/headband-ponytail-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: Style.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Adding a ribbon or headband around your head is the simplest way to dress up a ponytail. The great thing about this styling technique is that you can pull your hair back into a high, medium, or a low ponytail and still have room for a pretty headband. If you use a ribbon, just be sure to secure it with a few bobby pins so that it holds throughout the day. For added interest, part your hair on the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Pile it on<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"705\" class=\"wp-image-49813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/pile-ponytail.jpg\" alt=\"Pile Ponytail\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/pile-ponytail.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/pile-ponytail-234x300.jpg 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: Style.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Who said ponytails can\u2019t be glamorous? For this look, put your ponytail as high as you possibly can on your head but don\u2019t pull it all the way through at the end. At this point, you should have hair that looks like a loop at the top of your head. Take a piece of the loop and pin it down and repeat all over in no particular order. This helps to create a whimsical messy bun that you can wear to work or out with friends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Add braids<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"734\" class=\"wp-image-49812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/braided-ponytail.jpg\" alt=\"Braided Ponytail\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/braided-ponytail.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/braided-ponytail-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: Style.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Part your hair anywhere, then grab a chunk and braid it. Pull the whole thing back into a ponytail. The addition of the braid adds a touch of sophistication. You can use a French braid or a simple braid for this technique. You don\u2019t even need a small hair elastic to tie the braid off at the end. Simply tuck it in with the rest of your hair when you finally pull it back to make your ponytail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Rope braid<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"690\" class=\"wp-image-49811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/rope-braid-ponytail.jpg\" alt=\"Rope Braid Ponytail\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/rope-braid-ponytail.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/rope-braid-ponytail-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/everydayhair.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tumblr.com&nbsp;<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A rope braid is different from most braids in that you only need to separate your hair into two sections instead of three. To achieve this look:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Pull your hair into a high ponytail, adding hairspray or gel as needed to get a smooth look.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then, separate your hair into two sections.<\/li>\r\n<li>Twist both sections clockwise separately until you are about halfway down.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then, twist the two sections with each other counter-clockwise until you reach the bottom of your hair. It sounds complicated, but all you do is twist your hair in opposite directions from each other to achieve this look.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a major fan of ponytail styles: They are easy to wear and require little prep time.
