Who says ponytails are just for the gym? These days, ponytail hairstyles are stealing the spotlight on red carpets, TikTok feeds, and everywhere in between. Whether you’re feeling fierce, flirty, or full-on glam, there’s a ponytail to match your mood. Plus, with the magic of clip in ponytail extensions, you can create head-turning looks without breaking a sweat (or your budget).
Slicked Back Bubble Braid Ponytail
If you’re wondering how to do a slicked back ponytail, look no further! This style combines the best of both worlds: slick sophistication and playful edge. To achieve this look, start by slicking back your hair into a tight base ponytail using a strong-hold gel. If you’re working with shorter or thinner hair, pop in our clip-in Wrap Around Ponytail extension to give it that extra oomph. Divide your ponytail into sections, securing each with a small elastic, and gently tug at each section to create the bubble effect. A wrap-around ponytail piece will give you all the length and thickness needed to make a bold statement at brunch or on a night out.
High Curly Pony with Side Fringe
Big, bouncy curls meet the drama of a side fringe in this high ponytail look. Begin by adding volume to your crown with a clip-in hair extension or a top-up piece. Gather your hair into a high ponytail and curl the lengths with a large-barrel curling wand. Not blessed with bangs? No problem – just pop in our clip in fringe to fake it till you make it. This look screams Hollywood glam and pairs perfectly with your favourite LBD and glossy lips.
Low Mermaid Waved Ponytail
Understated elegance is the vibe here. To recreate this dreamy look, start with sleek, mermaid waves either achieved with a hair waver or heatless overnight curls. Add length and fullness with Remy hair extensions for a natural, seamless blend. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck, securing it into a low ponytail. For a polished finish, wrap a strand of hair or our wrap-around ponytail piece around the base. This hairstyle is ideal for weddings and date nights!

Rope Braided Ponytail
The ultimate power ponytail, this braided masterpiece demands attention. Start by slicking your hair back into a high ponytail with our Hair Mask.

Wrap two sections of hair around each other and secure at the end with elastics. This style is perfect for workouts, fashion-forward events, or just flexing your braiding skills.
