#15: French Twist Side Ponytail
Very similar to The Jasmine-inspired side pony, this is a full-side ponytail. It’s twisted in the back, similar to a French twist, so it’s directed toward the face to make a lovely frame. When styling, use Bumble and Bumble’s Styling Lotion, Thickening Spray, Gloss Spray Shine, Spray de Mode, or Classic Hairspray. The side pony works well on most hair types, but it helps if the hair is finer and has some waves.
Long side ponytails look good on any face shape. They are a beautiful way to put your hair up while still enjoying the length of your hair for that feminine, soft, sexy look. Ponies can be worn casually or formally, depending on your chosen style. And depending on your mood, you can wear it with subtlety or flair. Be sure to check out all of our ponytail hairstyling ideas.
