Summer’s here, and so is the hot weather! Anyone with long hair knows staying cool involves putting your locks up and off your neck. But you still want to keep things fun and not pull your hair into overly simple hairstyles every single day. Thankfully, 151 Hair Company in Onalaska, WI, is here with some great advice. With these unique and creative ponytail ideas, you can keep your style interesting and chic, even during the sweaty summer months!

Top 7 Hairstyles for Ponytails

1. Messy

Don't be afraid to make your ‘do a little extra messy at times. To show off your fun side, simply pull your hair back loosely and secure it in a ponytail. Then pull out some strands and pin others to give it that perfect piecey look. You can even add a poof at the top of your head to complete the look.

2. Triple French Braid

This one may sound difficult, but it's quite simple. Section your hair into thirds so that you can make big, chunky French braids on the top and each side. Then, when you reach the middle of the back of your head, pull each section together and tie it into a ponytail.

3. Long Ponytail Look

This hairstyle offers a bit of deception that will make your ponytail look a bit longer naturally. Tie your top layers into one ponytail and the bottom layers into another that rests close to the base of your neck. The bottom ponytail will be hidden, providing the look of a little extra length.

4. Headband

For a little extra spunk in your typical ponytail, try adding a headband. You can even tease your hair first to add a little extra volume and secure the headband in place with bobby pins.

5. Double Twisted

This one is a little more complicated, but well worth the effort. Divide your hair down the middle into two sections and twist each side in towards the middle. Continue the twist until you get to below the base of your neck and secure it in place.

6. Dutch Braid

Like the triple French braid, this style only has one braid on the side. Start by French braiding one side of your hair until you reach the back of your head. Then, pull the braid and the rest of your hair into a ponytail.

7. Braided Tail

This style is both trendy and great for exercise, as it keeps the weight of your hair off your shoulders. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it in place. Then, braid your hair like normal and tie it off at the end.
