Ariana Grande is not the only one who can rock a sexy, high ponytail, and you can do the same. What we love about ponytails is that they’re practical as they get the hair out of our way, but at the same time they look hot.

Many black women and girls wonder whether they can rock pony because their hair is thick and can be challenging to control. Of course, you can! We bring you some of the most awesome black ponytail hairstyles you should definitely try.

How to Do a Ponytail on Black Hair

Black or natural hair can be quite difficult to control, but it’s still quite easy to do a perfect ponytail. In fact, you don’t even need to spend hours working on your pony, and you can get a perfect hairstyle in about five minutes.

To make it happen, you’ll need a comb, brush, and spray bottle with water. Just flip your hair to the side where you want the parting to be on. Now, spray your hair to make it easier for you to create a sleek and sexy black ponytail.

Once you’re done spraying your hair with water, use the brush to straighten your hair. Tie your hair in a nice little pony before you spray it again to detangle it. Brush your hair thoroughly to get a sleek look.

You’re probably thinking “it would be easier with hair straightening iron,” but the less heat styling, the better. If you’re using the weave or something, create a low ponytail, make a bun, and place your weave around it.

When you’re done making the ponytail, use a little bit of styling gel and gently rub it in your hair to avoid frizzy hair. Use a toothbrush with styling gel to control the edges i.e., baby hair. If you want the ponytail to appear in sexy locks and waves, use a curling iron.
