In this context, we suspect that the pony will be around for long.

The simple version of the ponytail has been seen nearly everywhere for the spring/summer 2011 season (Ralph Lauren, Doo Ri, Calvin Klein). It is so quick and easy to make and it requires minimum amount of effort and, of course, no special styling skills and tools. Make a fashionable ponytail as spotted at Blugirl making a cute middle parting and secure it at the nape of the neck. For a special retro effect, add some volume by backcombing the crown. Carlos Miele proves that the pony works great even on curly hair.








Besides being the hair world's quick fix and the right lifesaver for bad hair days, the ponytail can also take a look from day to night with just a simple touch. A sleek and perfectly polished pony is your ticket for a formal event. Go seriously elegant with a simple, yet absolutely stylish party ponytail as seen at Laura Biagiotti and Giambattista Valli. The secret? A lock of hair ingeniously twisted around the base. Give a glamorous twist to your ponytail creating a chic quiff (Jonathan Saunders) or going for a dramatic side parting with a slightly tousled flair (Philosophy). Don't forget that loose pieces are so on-trend! You can also get the party started with flawless curls that scream absolute glamour (Maurizio Pecoraro). And since braids are so hot this season, braid one side along the hairline and pull your hair into a pony (Lacoste).

Messy or slicked, this hairstyles will undoubtedly make a real impact, whether we are talking about a red-carpet event or a casual, daytime occasion. You can always reinvent it and create a hot new look by simply making some interesting twists as spotted at Haute.
