From the intricate updos of classic Hollywood glamazons to the messy twists of today's low-key beauties, the
ponytail has been a
mane-stay for women through the years.
And they're not going anywhere:
Ponytails popped up on many Fall 2010
runways, and are as popular on today's
red carpets as stilettos. Not to mention that they're an absolute must to get you through those sticky, frizz-inducing summer days.
Why does this style endure? Because whether you wear yours
high, low,
to the side, stick-straight,
pumped up, loose,
wavy, twisted or
braided,
this versatile look is not only simple and chic, but also truly timeless.
