3 Quick and Easy Ponytail Hairstyles

Back To School Hairstyle Ideas! 

We have received many requests lately for some quick and easy DIY hairstyles (that can be done on yourself) for school mornings. So, this week we decided to film a "back to school hairstyles series" which includes instructions to create 3 cute and easy hairstyles. Yay! Each of these ponytails can be completed in less than 5 minutes and are most likely easy enough to do on yourself.

All 3 of these hairstyles will work for teens and women as well as for little girls. "The Princess" will be starting middle school this year and plans on wearing lots of quick "no heat styles" such as these ponytail designs to school (as she does not want to get up any earlier than she has to, but still wants to look cute!)  We love that each of these styles are simple, but something more than just a standard ponytail. 

In our video below, we have included a tutorial for each of the following ponytail styles:

• Hairstyle #1 The "woven ponytail."

• Hairstyle #2 The "ponytail knot."

• Hairstyle #3 The "triple twist ponytail."

Supplies needed to create these styles:

Hairstyle #1 - 2 hair elastics, 1 Topsy Tail (optional.) We found our "topsy tail" online.  I have also seen them at Claire's, drug stores, and beauty supply stores.

Hairstyle #2 - 1 hair elastic, pomade, gel (or water) to help control flyaways (optional.)

Hairstyle #3 - 1 medium size hair elastic, 3 small elastics (the brand we use is "Goody Ouchless.")
