New Ways to Style Sleek Ponytails
The next time you’re getting ready for date night or simply want a fun new style to try that is sure to make you feel like the most stunning woman on the block, take a look at this list!
1. Sleek Curly Ponytail
Going out with the girls? Be a little extra and rock your naturally curly hair by gathering it into a thick slicked-back ponytail letting baby hairs show your soft side.
2. Sleek Low Ponytail
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.
3. High Sleek Ponytail
Have an Ariana Grande moment and slay the night with a high pony. Make sure your locks are sleek and straight before you pull them high and tight.
4. Sleek Ponytail with Ombre
Do you have long straight hair? An ombré color would give your sleek locks the glow-up they’re looking for to stand out from the crowd!
5. Sleek Ponytail on Straight Hair
Straight hair makes a statement when slicked back and pulled up in a high ponytail. A smooth serum controls frizz so you can dance the night away.
6. Sleek Back Ponytail
A mane like yours deserves a special style so why not go with a couple of highlights to show off your sleek low ponytail?

Side ponytails aren’t just for kids! We love the fun and funky vibes a slightly wavy side ponytail gives off on an older woman.

9. Invisible Ponytail
Balayage on a straight high pony makes a statement no one will ignore and everyone will think is stunning.

Not all ponytails have to be slicked back and perfect. Part the first half of your hair into two curly face-framing sections and the rest of your hair into a thick ponytail sure to stun.
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.
12. Blonde Sleek Ponytail
If you have long hair, make it look even longer by pulling it back into a smooth ponytail. Blonde highlights bring warmth to your face and add to the overall style.
13. Sleek Ponytail with Edges
The swooped edges are the perfect finishing detail on this thick, curly ponytail. Use a styling gel to get your hairline to look as captivating as this.
14. Middle Part
A ponytail with a middle part is a no-fuss updo perfect for when you don’t want to spend half your styling time smoothing out bumps and frizz! Use a curling iron to thicken curls up.
15. Side Part Ponytail
Side ponytails serve all the attitude! For a different take on this classic favorite, take a few minutes to comb out a side part and style those baby hairs. Smooth with serum.
16. Sleek Ponytail with Weave
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.
