Sleek Ponytail: This is the ultimate hairstyle for long hair

Open hair can look gorgeous, but it often disturbs us during the day and often requires elaborate styling. A look at the runways now gives us the ultimate hairstyle for autumn: a classic, sleek ponytail. Sounds boring? But it is not! Because the hairstyle miracle can be styled in a more versatile way than you might think.

The classic

Let's start very simply: Probably the simplest way to get your hair out of your face in style is a classic braid without parting. The Pahde twins show us how it's done. If we straighten the hair beforehand and put the ponytail particularly high, the hairstyle looks anything but boring, but super glamorous. So we can actually go straight to the red carpet or to the next celebration.

Tip: When styling, we leave out a strand and then tie it around the hair elastic. This gives our look a noble finish and looks like straight from the hairdresser.

Low ponytail with a middle part

This ponytail variant is the favorite of the designers. So if you want to be particularly trendy this fall, you should part accurately in the middle and tie your sleek hair low at the nape of the neck. Small hairs are shaped with spray or wax. Minimal effort – maximum effect!

Lay on its side

Same same but different. On the catwalks from Valentino to Loewe we discovered the cool upgrade to the low ponytail: instead of in the middle, we part the hair sideways for this style, pull the front part deep into our forehead and fix the hairstyle with a large portion of hairspray or (for an edgy wet look) with gel.

And? Did you find your favorite? We will test our way through all three variants. The best: The sleek ponytail always fits! In addition, we can really go all out in terms of styling with the rest of our look. The hair classic is the ideal complement to extravagant outfits. So: what are we waiting for?
