The Trick of Braided Ponytails

We are a bit bored with simple ponytails, high or low ones. Braids can upgrade this basic hairstyle and make it unique. A side French braid, fishtail, Dutch braid, 4-strand braid or a few thin regular braids can blend into your pony or be a part of it. See the examples and tutorials!

#1: Large and Loose Braid with a High Pony

This is one way to be large and in charge! Ditch a braided bang, and step up your high ponytail with a jumbo French style. This size creates a lattice weave effect throughout the front of the style for a cool sculptural appearance that will be the focal point of your hairdo.

#2: Fierce Faux Mohawk

One of the benefits of wearing a style with braids is that you can create looks you might not wear otherwise, like this fun and funky Mohawk. Insider tip: tease your roots in the front to get the height and volume seen here.

#3: Messy Pony with Lace Braid

If you want a pony that’s high in style and full of surprises, this is the look for you. A lace braid on its own can seem too romantic, so balance it out with a full messy ponytail for an edgy-yet-bohemian hairdo. Try styling this light blonde look with an all-black outfit to make it really stand out.

#4: Bubbly Blonde Pony

When you are short on time, but still want a funky style, an easy way to update a ponytail braid is adding a couple of clear elastics for a bubble-effect. To prevent it looking like a copy from the Valentino catwalk, balance it with a romantic-looking side decoration. This style looks super pretty if made on slightly curled hair.
