Summer nights officially have a new go-to off-your-neck ‘do. The side ponytail is so much dressier than the perfunctory back pony, which looks like you’re about to exercise or do housework. Just look at the lustrous examples set by side-sweepers Molly Sims, Blake Lively, Carrie Underwood, and Emmy Rossum.
Dirty blondes Molly and Brooke went the whimsical route, putting the focus on loose coils and touchable texture – Molly added even more by infusing the cute twist of a braid. Or get some gentle curls going, courtesy of romantics Carrie and Emmy, and you’ve got yourself a sexy evening look that couldn’t be easier.
Great for the day after a big, curly blowout when you don’t know what to do with your hair. Just be sure to place the ponytail on the side of your part and if you have bangs, sweep them to the side. For full effect, as your last step take a thin lock of pony-tailed hair and wrap it around the holder (so much prettier than seeing a hair tie!). And since your locks are pulled back, wear bold earrings for added emphasis. Instant glamour, straightaway comfort!
