Taylor Swift This romantic, curly side pony is super sweet on Swift and one of her signature looks. Recreate the style by securing your hair to the side with a clear elastic. Next, curl the pony with a 3/4-inch curling iron. To keep curls touchable but intact, spritz hair with light-hold hairspray like Kronos K Force Flexible Hold Hairspray, $25.

I like Lauren Conrad's sleek side ponytail.

I love, love, love side ponytails & wear them quite often. Just out of curiosity is there an age limit on my beloved side pony??

I had never done anything but a boring side pony, I'm glad to have some ways to glam it up!

The side pony is cute, but it seems like it looks best with curly hair, or curled hair. Time to bust out the curling iron!
