Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande’s ponytail is the epitome of a signature hairstyle. Come on, she’s been wearing it high on her head since high school. Her petite facial structure was nicely framed by her brow-brushing blunt bangs at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. The crimped details throughout the length of her ponytail are a throwback to the nineties that we’d love to see back in style.

To get Ari’s look, separate your bangs and comb your long strands tightly back against your head. Roll and blow-dry your bangs with a large round brush, then add crimped pieces to the ponytail by braiding small sections or using a crimping iron. Finish off the look by wrapping a strand of hair around your ponytail and pinning it in place to hide your hair tie.

The ponytail extends down her back, and the look is clean, yet elegant. The bangs, while uncommon for a majority of Jenner’s fashion statements, are cool and trendy.

To achieve Jenner’s poufed ‘pony, tie your hair back, and slightly tease your ponytail. Using thin elastics, tie and tease each section about an inch-and-a-half apart. Straighten your bangs and the end of your ponytail, and you’re good to go.

Singer and actress Selena Gomez knows how important it is to keep her hair out of her face when going from event to event. That’s why we aren’t surprised to see her rocking the ponytail and bangs hairstyle on the streets of New York. She prefers volume in the majority of her hairstyles, so her ponytail sits high at the top of her head.

The sides of the ponytail are teased out to add even more volume to the look. The ponytail itself is full and fierce. Gomez wears her bangs wispy and cut in line with her eyebrows to keep them from getting in the way.

The ponytail and bangs hairstyle is a go-to for every woman out there who wants a low-maintenance look in the nick of time. You really can’t go wrong with it, whether it’s messy or perfectly coiffed. It’s super easy to throw your hair in a ponytail, finger-comb your bangs, and hit the road. We think the hairstyle will stick around for the foreseeable future and can’t wait to see who wears our favorite style next.
