6 Braided Ponytails Make for a Variety of Easy Hairstyles!

If quick and easy hairstyles are what you’re looking for or, if you find yourself constantly asking the question “what should I do with my hair?” Visual-Makeover has some simple suggestions. For instance, see what Redken creative consultant Guido Palau, brought us in braids and more with this hairstyles with braids article.

I have long hair, well, at least long enough for a credible sized ponytail (it’s about 2 inches past my collarbone) and I thank the Lord everyday for bringing the ponytail back into style. Whether you have a long layered hairstyle or one length hair, the ponytail gives us a variety of options. The ponytail can be totally no fuss and casual or, with just a few simple styling tricks it can morph into a perfect updo for any event.

How easy is this hairdo? All it takes is a quick lesson in braiding 101, a great headband and your there. The headband makes this hair style an eye-catcher!

Kate Hudson has long layered hair with natural hair wave. To get this look;

1. Blow dry smooth with a round brush and a volumizing product like Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Root Pump.
2. Backcomb at crown to create lift.
3. Smooth over and create a low loose braid, letting sides fall out naturally.
4. Curl face framing layers with a large curling iron.

A fishtail braid is the easiest braid of all to master. You’re basically working with two strands of hair versus the three strands for a conventional braid and I think it’s one of the prettiest braids too! You can covert the fishtail braid into a side braid or a half-up ponytail as well.

This fiber blend braided switch is an easy way to create some quick and easy hair styles. The switch comes pre-braided and can be worn as a ponytail, twisted into braided chignons, buns or twisted knots. It is easily attached with an elastic loop as you would wrap a ponytail holder around your own hair. This one sells for $51.00 at www.wigs.com

Hair styles don’t get much easier than the ponytail and with so many ways to wear them; high, low, side, braided, smooth, curled or ratty . . . or add bows, beads, braids, bobbles or whatever you can come up with and you’ve got enough hairdo options to last for . . . a long time.
