We have to admit that there is no more practical hairstyle for everyday life than the ponytail or ponytail lemonade braids. You can do it very quickly and also with different styles, whether you want to wear it to work, class, or to go shopping. Best of all, you don't need an arsenal of accessories to make ponytails , just an elastic band and some clips or hairpins.

HIGH AND STRETCHED PONYTAIL

One of the most fashionable types of ponytail currently is the high ponytail, in the ArianaGrande style . This is a ponytail style that can be used both for an event and for day-to-day life and although it may not seem like it, it is a really easy type of hairstyle to do.

The trick to doing this type of lemonade braids hairstyle correctly is to  brush the root well to get it aligned and make the top part the main point. The steps to follow to make this hairstyle are as follows :

Step 1: After washing your hair, brush your hair well, especially in the root area.

Step 2 : With your hair already brushed, hold the hair tightly with one hand in the center, to form the ponytail.

Step 3 : Spread a small amount of styling wax on your loose hand and go over all the hair attached to your head, then move to the part of your hair that you have attached and brush well again.

Step 4: Hold the tail tightly, pass a rubber band and, with your fingers, pull the strands to get the root aligned.

Step 5 : Using a fine comb, lightly comb the root.

Step 6: Take a section of your hair to wrap and hide the elastic . Secure with a paper clip.

Step 7 : To remove frizz from the top of your head, just  spray some setting spray on a toothbrush and rub it in gently to align your hair well.

This way the high ponytail will be perfect, but if you have a lot of hair, you may want to try doing it with the head down. In that case, you will probably be better off if someone else helps you.

LOW PONYTAIL

The secret to a perfect low ponytail is to have your hair well brushed and also well aligned. This hairstyle is perfect for those days when your hair is too oily or does not contribute to your desires.

To make this type of ponytail, you have to brush the hair well, combing it backwards, apply a little foam, and then hold the hair from behind in the middle.

With the help of a brush or comb, align the hairs close to the roots. Finally, use an elastic band to secure the ponytail. 

Once you have made the ponytail and without finishing it completely, you can lower the elastic as much as possible, but remember that it is better to leave the end of the hair tucked in the ponytail . In this way, the low ponytail will look like a small bun and with much more style.

On the other hand, if you want to wear the low ponytail like the latest trends , you have to comb the hair well and when you pass the elastic, you let the hair loose, trying to make it as smooth as possible (as in the photo above) and ironing.

SIDE PONYTAIL

The side ponytail is another easy-to-do ponytail hairstyle that is also perfect for everyday wear, especially if you have very long hair.

To do this type of ponytail hairstyle, you should start by brushing all the hair back first, and then brushing it on the side.

Once you have brushed it well, you must pass a little fixing gel or foam (if you want to control the hair well), make sure that the hair is well aligned from the roots, take a rubber band and pass it to the middle of the hair.

Once the ponytail is made, you must comb it and let it fall to the side, letting the ponytail fall over the shoulder.

In the event that you have shorter hair , but you want to wear this type of ponytail on the side, you can comb it more towards the middle of the head, and you comb leaving the hair loose, remaining just on the side and down.

PIGTAIL WITH BRAID

The ponytail braid completely changes the look. And let's face it, you don't even have to have a lot of skill to do the hairstyle, right? You simply have to secure the hair as high as you want and braid the fastened part. Easy right? In less than five minutes it is ready!

If you want to give the braid a bit of style, nothing like making it herringbone as we see in the photo above, and also release some strands so that it remains with a more casual style that on the other hand is a trend. Another easy way to add a special touch to this classic hairstyle is to hide the elastic with a strand that surrounds the accessory.

CURLY PONYTAIL WITH EXTRA VOLUME

As Gigi Hadid looks in the image above. To make this hairstyle it is only necessary that you comb the hair as high as you can ( as we have explained to make the high ponytail) and then you pass an elastic, and try to open the ponytail well, so that in this way, you can curl the hair or if you prefer, wave it.

PONYTAIL WITH TOUPEE

Wearing a toupee combined with your ponytail is also one of the easy hairstyles that we can do for day to day, although it may not seem like it. A hairstyle that we must do like any other ponytail, but to make the toupee, we must comb back, but then move the hair forward , so that the front part is raised. Then apply spray or hairspray, and make the ponytail. When you have all the hairstyle done, you apply a good amount of hairspray again.

PONYTAIL WITH LOOSE STRANDS

Finally we can resort to making the simplest ponytail of all. A ponytail of hair without more, but to give it a bit of style, nothing like dropping a couple of strands on the sides, and if we want we can wave slightly. To make the hairstyle look good, it will be good to comb the hair by marking a part in the middle.
