Party Hair: 6 Ponytail Hairstyles

Easy dressy hair style tips for the holidays.

Of all the party hair you can do, ponytail hairstyles are some of the easiest (and most youthful.)

Forget stiff updos this holiday season: try these pontail hair style tips for the freshest looks.

Not only are ponytails for longer hair, even women with shorter hair can get the same look with a quick, clip-on hair extension (available at local beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty Supply.)

Here are 6 variations on the standard ponytail, all perfect over 40:

• High ponytail. This sassy style gives you lots of youthful appeal (and a ponytail serves as an instant facelift!)
• Low ponytail.  Instantly chic and flattering, the low ponytail is perfect for even your dressiest events.
• Hair-wrapped ponytail. Forget scrunchies or visible hair gadgets: the hair-wrapped ponytail is a more sophisticated approach.
• Side ponytail. For a fun twist, try a trendy side ponytail this party season.
• Assorted ponytails. Try ponytail hairstyles with volume and more fun variations.
• Braided ponytail. The fishtail braided ponytail is something fresh and new this season.
