Ponytails for Weddings

Lauren Conrad's side pony is sweet and chic at the same time. See how to get the look: 1. Apply smoothing cream to damp hair and blow dry straight using a paddle brush.2. Use a flat iron on the bottom half of your hair to get it extra straight for this look, and spritz it with shine spray to get it super sleek. 3. Part your hair to the side, bring all of your hair over one shoulder and tie it into a ponytail under your ear.4. Hair too short? Try adding a ponytail extension. Easy peasy.

Mila Kunis' style is so easy. If you can do a ponytail, you have this look nailed. What to do:1. Blow dry your hair straight. Add waves by curling your hair with a medium-barreled curling iron, from below the ears down.2. Make a side part and pull your hair back into a low ponytail, just above the nape of your neck.3. Secure with a hair band. Then, take a small section of hair from your ponytail and wrap it around the band. Hide and secure the end of this section with a bobby pin below your ponytail.4. Mist the front of your hair with hairspray and smooth any frizzies with your hands.

Lindsay Lohan's bushy, side ponytail is a great way to salvage day-old curls. What to do: 1. If you're starting from scratch, set hair with hot rollers first, then release when cool. If you already have day-old curls, spritz roots with dry shampoo and brush through strands.2. Part and brush hair neatly to one side, and create a ponytail behind one ear with a pretty elastic. (Only have ugly elastics? Leave a piece of hair out of the pony to wrap around the elastic instead, fastening the "cover-up" in place with a bobby pin.)3. Pin bangs behind your ear (or as close as possible) and set the style with firm-hold hairspray.

Lindsay Lohan's blonde ponytail has a Taylor Swift-like sweetness -- great for meeting the parents. What to do: 1. Coat hair with a heat-protective, texturizing spray.2. Wrap 1-inch sections of hair around a half-inch curling iron to get tight, spiral curls. Continue until your whole head of hair is done.3. Finger-comb curls to stretch them out, then mist with hairspray.4. Gather hair into a side ponytail, leaving out a handful of tendrils to frame your face. Secure beneath one ear with an elastic.5. Wrap one tendril back and around the elastic to cover it. Secure beneath your ponytail with a bobby pin.

Lauren Conrad's low ponytail looks beachy and beautiful thanks to subtle, soft waves. To get the look: 1. If your hair isn't naturally wavy, you can create this tousled look by loosely braiding damp hair and allowing it to air dry. Once dry, finger comb through the waves to separate. 2. Create a center part in your wavy, dry hair. Then pull hair back into a low ponytail that covers your ears. Secure with an elastic band.3. Pull out a few face-framing pieces in the front. If the pieces look too straight, wrap them around a wide-barreled curling iron. Just avoid creating curls that are too perfect or too tight -- this isn't an 80s prom 'do. 4. Spray with a light-hold, anti-frizz hairspray to finish.

Jessica Simpson's ponytail is a new twist on an old standby and is especially cute with long bangs. To get the look:1. Spray hair with a volumizing spray, then blow dry hair in sections using a medium-barrel round brush. The more volume you can create at the root here, the better. 2. Tease your hair at the crown, brush over gently to smooth top layer and let bangs fall forward to the sides your face.3. Pull hair into a low ponytail at nape of neck and secure with hair band or clip.4. Finish with medium hold hairspray used sparingly in the crown area (where you teased).

Beyonce Knowles' low, voluminous ponytail is great for keeping hair out of your face on your big day. Get the look: 1. On damp hair, use a maximum-strength volumizing spray at the roots of your hair and blow dry upside down until almost completely dry.2. Section hair into six sections: top right, top left, top back, bottom right, bottom left, bottom back. Blowdry each of these sections with a large barrel round brush until completely dry and maximum volume is achieved. You can tease the top section of your hair if you didn't get quite enough volume from blow drying. 3. To tame fly-aways, rub a pea-size drop of low-hold styling cream into palms and gently apply, starting at the ends of the hair working your way up.4. Brush back hair into a low, loose ponytail (covering up any teased hair) and secure with a jeweled hair elastic (or a plain one, if you aren't feelin' that fancy).See More Beyonce Knowles Hairstyles
