A sleek low ponytail wrapped in a lock of your hair is all the drama you need to make a statement. Pull tendrils near your ears loose and use a curling iron to emphasize their curl.

11. Short Ponytail

Short hair can look super cute in a ponytail too! Pull your locks into a pony right at the crown of your head or lower to really show off cheekbones.

Another ponytail that makes a statement, this trendy take starts at the crown and uses a thick lock of hair to wrap around the ponytail.
