Ponytail with straight across bangs is such a youthful and adorable style! If you want heavier fringe, go for the blunt. Girls with round-shaped faces should opt for blunt bangs with the sides longer than the center and the middle part shouldn’t be too wide. Women with finely textured hair should ask their hairstylist to start the bangs higher for more bulk.

While everyone is still busy talking about Taylor Swift’s moving 2014 Grammys performance, we, on the other hand, are heavily fixated on the hairstyle she sported at the event. Taylor’s flirty ponytail possesses the right kind of messiness for both formal and casual wear. We love that she kept her fringe flat and swept to the side instead of giving it height. Purrrty! Now, we feel like crying.

The humble ponytail is on trend and variations have emerged as of late. Karmen Pedaru’s folded sleek ponytail is one of the most curiously unique options we’ve seen. Give this one a try if you’re bored of the classic ponytail. Brush your hair into a high ponytail then tie with elastic. Secure the ends with a clear elastic as well before folding it inwards and keeping it still with bobby pins. Spread the folded area sideways before misting the style with hairspray.

Here’s an interesting twist to a low ponytail courtesy of actress Rose McIver. Avoid an unsightly dent to your locks due to elastic by going without! This style will be a breeze for women with thin hair with natural waves.
How-to: Apply a texturizing mousse before drying hair. Tease the front and crown a little for a good lift. Divide hair into two sections – upper (thicker section) and lower. Twist the lower section loosely and secure the base with pins all around. Slick out the sides as you gather the upper section at the back; make sure that it’s close enough to the lower section. Attach the upper section to the lower part using U pins. Set the coif with hairspray.
