Flower Focus
Celebrate spring with a blooming beautiful 'do. Mix and match different floral hair accessories, like the Forever 21 Flower Hair Clip Set, $2.90, down the length of a low ponytail or braid.

Volume up Top
It might seem backward but sometimes the best way to transform a ponytail is to consider the hair outside of the tail. Rather than teasing the lengths, tease hair on the crown, then gather the ends into a low ponytail. Mist with a good dose of hairspray, like Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play Harder Firm Volumizing Hairspray, $11.05.

Banded Back
There's a lot going on with this anything-but-basic look. The low ponytail is pulled together with a thick zip tie, while a thick leather headband keeps bangs sleek and pulled back in the front. The look is finished off with a surprise backward metal headband (the Asos Crystal Back Headband, $11, will help you achieve the look).

Divide and Separate
The ponytail at Ermanno Scervino looks complicated but it's nothing more than cleverly parted sections fastened with elastics. Use mirrors (or a friend) to help you create crisp sections on the back of the head. Then pull all of the front layers back and tuck them into the lowest elastic. Pro tip: Style hair while it's damp for a sleek finish.

Upgraded Hair Elastic
Increase the wow factor of a simple low ponytail by fastening it with a leather band at a jaunty angle like at the Loewe Spring 2018 show. Take a DIY approach and repurpose an old necklace or trim from a fabric store.
