Getting a gorgeous, feminine ponytail style for black hair is as easy as walking into a salon and letting your stylist work her magic. Even the shortest hair can be transformed with extensions, and natural hair can be styled into a smooth, sleek ponytail or an explosion of curls.

Wrap a piece of hair around the hair tie holding the ponytail in place and you’ll amp up your look to the nth power.

Create a look that can go from office to dance floor with ease by piling curls at the crown and securing them with a hair tie, then separating the curls into an unconstructed fluff of coils.

Leave them as tight as you like, or finger comb them for a bit more fullness and bounce. Nothing says “Queen” like a crown of beautiful curls.

Express your personality in a cute, classy way with an easy-to-create bubble ponytail.

Start with a sleek ponytail secured low at the nape. Using at least six more hair ties (or more for longer hair), place them down the length of the ponytail at evenly spaced intervals. The effect will be a bubble-type design.

Remember, you will want your hair super sleek to make this style pop!

Get creative by showcasing a ponytail with braids winding their way throughout, framing a shiny, sleek ponytail and drawing even more attention to the face.

Transform a smooth ponytail into a work of art by creating deep, loose waves down the entire length of the hair. This will create a play on shadow and glossy shine like none other.

Put your personality on full display by customizing the classic ponytail to tell the world who you are. Healthy, shiny, sleek hair or fun, springy curls bring any ponytail to life and make it anything but ordinary.
