By Suzan K Bishop

Whoever said ponytails were boring hadn't seen some of the styling options they give you.

In fact, with a little bit of imagination and the right hair accessories you can easily turn a simple ponytail into something sleek, sophisticated and quite elegant even.

So why not use the cool ponytail hairstyles tips given here to spice up your pony for an after hours rendezvous, girls night out or for a look just formal enough for your best friend's wedding.

For one you could pull your tresses back into a pony which you split it into two sections. Then just wrap them around each other using bobby pins to attach the ends to the base. Viola!

Another simple but elegant choice involves brushing half your mane into a pony tail. Create a loose bun from that by wrapping and securing it at the base using bobby pins.

Double your pleasure. Put half your hair into a high pony. Then create a second right underneath that one.

Variation on that. Create two pony tails one on top of the other leaving a few pieces loose. Twist and pin each into a fab bun.

Go with a low side pony using most of your hair. The remaining strands can be wrapped around the elastic and held in place with pins. A side style like this has sophisticated written all over it, doesn't it?

Here's a dressy one if you're hair is long enough. Make a low pony. Pull the end through elastic twice. On the third pass only pull it halfway through and swing the remainder to the top.

Using a cute ponytail holder comb your hair back. Then slip hair sticks into your hair just under the holder to create a style with an air of mystery.

How about combining bangs with a pony to get yet another alluring look?

Or you could combine braids with a pony as another way to go. Do your typical low pony tail. Braid that. Then twist the braid into a bun which is held in place with pins.

You could create a high pony after applying conditioner to wet hair and then combing back letting that air dry. Comb once again for added volume while leaving a few strands out that you fall down to frame your face in a flirty way. A nice touch for a softer, more feminine look.

There you go. You've now got what, nine different ways to take your pony tail from basic to fetching in next to no time? Giving you ways to create the style everyone will be talking about. - 30305
