Ponytails are always an updo option, but sometimes we want to snazz it up so we don’t look like we’re going to the gym. This simple braided ponytail is the perfect option. It only has a single braid leading back to a ponytail, but while this braid may seem small, it carries a ton of femininity and detail. Add some curls or waves to the ponytail for a little extra girly attitude.
