How to Do a Ponytail on Bob

There are many types of bobs and not all are ideal for ponytails. The simple bob shape is blunt cut all the way around and tends to look shorter.

Asymmetrical bobs are a great choice for ponytail bob hairstyles for women because the hair is cut longer in the front. When the hair in front is shorter, the bob is called a pageboy.

Layered bobs can also work well for doing a ponytail on a short bob. Layered bobs add volume and texture to a short hairstyle. Half-up ponytails are often a cute option for bobs that is spunky and fun.

Steps to tie a ponytail with bob haircut:

Step 1: Depending on the length you desire for your bob ponytail, decide whether you will use a weave or not. If you are not using weave and are doing a full ponytail, use a comb to smooth your hair to the back of your head and gather it in your hand at the back of your skull.

Step 2: If you are using weave and want to do a half up ponytail, use a comb to smooth the top half of your hair, above your ears away from your face and gather it in your hand at the back of your skull. Use a ponytail holder, rubber band, or scrunchy, wrap the tie around the hair pulling the hair through the tie, twisting it, then pulling the hair through again until the tie is tightly secured around the hair.

Step 3: If you are using weave, now you will secure the weave to the ponytail using another rubber band or the one attached to the ponytail weave. Use a tract of hair at least 1 in wide, wrap the hair around the ponytail and weave rubber bands so that they are disguised and secure with bobby pins.
