It’s official – ponytail hairstyles are no longer just for “sporty-cute” styles. This classic updo is ready for a fashion-forward remake into a modern hairstyle that can cover everything from classy casual events to intricate Pinterest inspo. One major hallmark of a great style is definitely how good it looks, but budgeting time for hair while getting ready has become even more of a consideration. While several awesome ponytail styles have been passed over for formal events in favor of fishtail braids or decorated buns, this year is poised to be the year of the pony—even if it’s not quite the Year of the Horse.
