Whether you hit snooze one time too many or just need to keep the hair off your neck, there's no easier hair style to master than the ponytail. We've spotted ponytails all over the red carpet lately and thank goodness for that. Let's take the ponytail out of the gym and into the office, with a few variations on this simple look.
Alexandra's hair is tied very low in her hair, but the volume on top keeps this style looking fresh. There's no mistaking this style for a post-workout beauty routine. 


Tasha parted her dark locks and tied them in a knot at the back of her head to add a little interest to her low ponytail. 


Tammy wove a ribbon into her hair to add a little something something to her ponytail. Matching ribbon to your outfit or using a contrasting colour is a great way to accessorize your hair for weddings and parties. 
 

Michelle clipped a feather piece we nicknamed "the squid" into her ponytail. It was a bridesmaid gift from long ago, but with feather extensions already a hot topic this summer, a few feathers in her hair can't hurt. 
 

Jenni's long locks are stunning down on their own, but her braid/ponytail combo is a simple way to keep the hair of her neck in hot weather.
