Is it pigtails or a ponytail? It's both. This clever hybrid style combines two twisted pigtails to form a straight ponytail. Finish with a clear elastic, like the Sephora Collection Snag-Free Hair Elastics, $3.50, to keep the focus on the hair.

Sectional Ponytail
Pick up a comb and start dividing hair beginning at the forehead, creating an intricate, geometric design. Continue all the way down the nape of the neck to create a flowing ponytail like the one seen at Fatima Lopes that looks gorgeous from all angles.

Add Some Color
The super sleek side parts at Fendi were Pinterest-worthy but it's the fusion of the long hair with the bright blue and green turquoise haircuts by Sam McKnight that captured our attention. Half-haircuts might be difficult to pull off IRL so take a cue from the look and experiment with temporary rainbow hair colors on only half of the head. It's a twist on the popular half-and-half hair color trend.

Deconstructed Ponytail
Is a ponytail still a ponytail if it isn't cinched with a tight elastic? We say yes because it means that we get to recreate this flowing look from the Proenza Schouler Spring 2018 runway. Hair was brushed back and gelled behind the ears, creating a tumble of wet-look waves.

Perspex Pony
Interesting fact: The secret behind the wet-look ponytails at Chanel was a vacuum. Hairstylist Sam McKnight used the unexpected tool to slide Perspex tubes over low ponytails. For a less intimidating application, twist the pony tightly and slide an acrylic tube (found at hardware stores) over it. Too much fuss? Try a hair cone, like the Urban Outfitters Camille Cone Hair Tie, $5, and consider topping the look with a see-through hat.
