But if you limit yourself to just one kind of ponytail, you’re missing out on a whole world of hairstyle options. Ponytails have long evolved from something you hurriedly do to your hair when you’re having a bad hair day to an actual hairstyle that you do because it looks great.

These might be hairstyles that look difficult to create, but are actually crazy easy, are the best kind of styles, and if you ever thought ponytails were boring, you’ll definitely have a change of heart when you’re done with this post. Because these aren’t your regular ponytail hairstyles.

Ponytail with cornrows

The cornrow here gives an interesting spin to the regular ponytail. Feel free to embellish the cornrow with hair rings if you want to be extra.

If you like your ponytail with some extra pizazz, then you’ll love this.

Alternatively, you can do a pompadour in front too.

The sleek low ponytail

How low can you go??? There is an effortless glam look to this that we just love.

The super high ponytail

Because the higher your hair, the closer you are to heaven. This is definitely not for the faint-hearted. And if you’ve got a round face, then you probably shouldn’t because it wouldn’t be flattering. But it’ll be perfect for oval and heart-shaped faces.

Ponytail with Bangs

This is perfect if your edges have gone awol. You can have the bangs in front or at either side of your face.

Natural Hair Ponytail

So naturalistas are not left out. Whatever type your natural hair, you can actually do a ponytail. There are extensions that mimic the natural hair texture so if you had that concern, worry not!
