I’m back from the wedding, which means three things: I am happily married, I have a new last name, and I can finally cut the hair I grew out for the wedding. I suffered through 16 months of gradually lengthening hair that made a ponytail my best friend. In a farewell to long hair, here are X cheap, easy ways you can dress up your ponytail for a professional look:
Wrap a silk scarf around your head like a headband or tied around the ponytail itself.
Add instant style with a jeweled or flowered ponytail holder to an otherwise utilitarian look. Ulta is a great destination for hair accessories, and you can print weekly coupons from their website. Also check out HairBoutique.com for a vast selection of unusual hair adornments, including this jeweled star, which capitalizes on the season’s gray trend.
Take a small section of your ponytail and wrap it around the base of the ponytail and pin in place, concealing the elastic.
Wrap a charm bracelet around the elastic.
Slip on a headband to hold back those pesky shorter layers. A tortoise shell-print or thin jeweled band is especially elegant.
If you want to look like the consummate professional at the office, please avoid:
- Scrunchies.
- Those clip-on ponytails. Trust me, everyone knows they’re fake.
- More than one ponytail at once. Pigtails are only cute in kindergarten and at Halloween.
