Ways to accessorize a ponytail

Everyone wears ponytails. But they aren't really special. If you accessorize them, you can make them fancy, cute, and fashionable. It's easy and effortless.

1. Use a hair bow-
   Hair bows tie around the ponytail or clip
   on. They can be found in so many shapes,

   sizes, and colors!

2. Use a flower.
   Wether it's a real flower just picked or
   a fake on you bought, they make the 'do
   so cute! You can even make your own.

3. Clips.
   Just add a clip...or two...or three.

Ponytail Braid

This ponytail is cute, but it's also extremely EASY! If your  hair looks terrible down one morning, this is  so so so so easy to make up in less than a minute. If you don't know how to braid then you better learn, but if you do, then this is one of the easiest hairstyles ever!

1. Put your hair in a ponytail. (Any kind- high, low, middle)
2. Braid the ponytail and secure with a small elastic.

You can pull out little pieces on each side if you like, or you cal leave it tight and neat! However you prefer.

Twist on a Twist

If you don't want your bangs in your face but don't want to do the normal "twist your bangs to one side and clip" hairstyle, this is a great alternative. It's so pretty and natural-looking, as id doesn't require much bobby pins or clips, just one clip or elastic. It looks great on strait hair, wavy hair, and curly hair. In my opinion, it looks great in wavy & curly hair. All you have to do is:

1. Part your hair, any way you like.
2. start on one side and begin twisting two strands together.
3. After one twist with those two, drop the peice on the bottom and grab a new section of hair.
4. Twist those two once, and repeat until you get to the middle of the back of your head. Clip to secure.
5. Repeat with other side.
6. Use an elastic or clip to secure the strands together at the back of the head.
7. You can also wrap hair around the elastic so it is hidden. (optional)

Done!

Bow Bun

I probably wouldn't call this your "everyday hairstyle," as it is a bun that is a bow...which is pretty out there. You don't need to make it perfect, you can make it a messy version too! When I first saw the hair-do, I thought it looked way too hard and that it would take a while to perfect. But, it's actually simple:
1. Gather all of your hair into a high pony tail, or where you want the bun to be placed.
2. Begin to tie it into a ponytail but, on the second loop, don't bring the ends of your hair through the hair tie so it looks like a bun with extra hair.

3. Take the extra strip of hair outside the bun, and bobby pin it over the middle of the bun, creating a bow in your hair.

This different twist on a basic bun is cute and original!

Half-up Half-down Braid

This half-up half-down look is perfect for any hair. It is a little on the fancy side, so you could wear it to any special occasions. It's quick to do and is pretty. All you need to do is:

1. part you hair how you choose.

2. Start braiding one side by french braiding your hair, except you only gather additional hair for the top section.

3. Keep doing this until you reach the back of your head, repeat with the other side.

4. Bring the two braids together and secure with a small elastic.

5. Curl the hair on the bottom and apply hairspray.

All done!

Under-the-Bun Braid

I like this hairstyle, it's easy but looks FANCY. I think I'd probably wear it when I need to get my hair out of my face but don't want it to look like a birds nest. Like maybe when you're having an important test...or maybe for sports od you secure it super well. Anyways, how you do this is real simple:

1. Flip your hair upside down, first brush it

2. Take a small section of hair from where the back of your neck meets your hairline and begin to french braid.

3. Keep doing this until you reach where you want your bun.

4. Gather your hair in a ponytail, making sure the braid stays tight, and smooth any bumps you may have.

5. Secure the ponytail.

6. (optional) Braid a few sections of your pony tail.

7. Twist the pony into a bun and secure with bobby pins or an elastic- which for me is a lot easier.

You can add a flower too! Anything you like. 

Messy Bun with Dutch braid

Messy buns don't need to look like you didn't try. This messy bun is easy, simple, and perfect for a quick but neat hairstyle on the go. How you do this hairstyle is somewhat self-explanatory. I think it works best when your hair isn't just showered, like you showered a day before or a couple days before, but it could still work either way. What you do is, start dutch braiding your hair on the side your larger part is. You guide the braid where you'd like it to go until you reach where the bun will be. Then, you tie it off with a small elastic. To make the bun, gather your hair like you're making a ponytail and then twist it messily. Secure your bun and pull on it and the braid a little to create a messy feel. Fix any fly-aways and add hairspray if you want extra hold.

Flower Dutch Braid

This Hairstyle is adorable.All it is, is just a dutch braid twirling around your head. A dutch braid is almost exactly like a French braid. The only difference is that you reverse the way you pick up strands of hair.Instead of bringing the outside strands over the middle, you bring them under the center piece. For this hairstyle, you just guide your dutch braid around your head like in the picture. When you get to the end, you keep braiding a normal braid.Then you wrap it into a bun-type thing and pull on the elbows of the braid to create a pancake braided bun to look like a flower! Easy enough.
