In Style Says: Keep Your Summer Ponytail

InSyle.com says Keep Your Summer Ponytail.

No longer are ponytails just for the gym!

The article talks about the versatility of a ponytail; the fact that you can wear it casually with just a tank top on or in formal attire with a tux. In this pic to the left, Jennifer Aniston is wearing a tux with her hair back in a ponytail. Her hair stylist, Chris McMillan explains to achieve this look, sleek at the sides with volume at the top, you start with a low ponytail, tighten with an elastic, split the tail in two and pull both ends to tighten the sides and loosten the roots.

What I would have done differently is replaced the plain old elastic with a Di Manno Designs black patent pony narrow with this look.

In Sept 2009 issue of In Style Magazine, there is an article on ponytail hairstyles: Hair and Now Tighten Your Tie. They show pics of Megan Fox, Lucy Liu, Molly Sims and Christina Ricci in sleek ponytail looks, saying "Messy, undone ponytails are so 2007." They say to achieve the sleek ponytail look, like Megan Fox has in the pic above, gather your hair back at ear height, secure with an elastic, and smooth the sides. NYC stylist, Yusef Williams was also quoted with his tip: "Use a bit of hairspray on a toothbrush to sleek down the fuzz along the hairline."

Again, instead of just using an elastic band as they suggested, I would use a Di Manno Designs ponytail holder to polish off Megan's outfit. With this hot black dress she is rocking, I think she could finish the look with a number of different Di Manno Designs ponytail holders, my top picks would be: a basic black leather ponytail holder (standard or narrow size) or a python ponytail holder (standard or narrow size).

So ladies, hope this inspires you to play around with different ponytail looks! And remember, you don't have to be on the red carpet to sport these ponytail looks, try them with your business attire for the office. Whether you want a sleek, slicked-back look or a voluminous ponytail look there's a Di Manno Designs ponytail holder waiting to be wrapped around your tail!
