Ponytails come to the rescue when you’re having a bad hair day.

They’re typically pretty easy to do and don’t take too much time. However, if you’re styling it just right, people will think you spent hours achieving your glamorous look. Whether you throw up your natural hair and leave it be or incorporate intricate braids, there’s a style out there fore everyone—even if you have short hair!

Scroll below for 10 seriously beautiful ponytail pictures from Instagram to copy ASAP.

1. Half-Up, Half-Down

Our girl Hailey Bieber is absolutely glowing here. The half-up pony perfectly frames her face and is literally right on top of her head. We’re thinking lots of hairspray was used to achieve this look. Grab a large barrel curling iron to get her loose, classy waves.

2. Au Natural

If you have naturally wavy hair, you need to copy this ponytail. Loosely gather your hair at the nape of your neck, secure it with a band and finish it off with an oversized bow. The bigger the better!

3. Face-Frame

Okay, first of all, how is this little girl so beautiful? That aside, she’s seriously rocking this ponytail. If you have chin-length bangs, leave them out to frame your face and throw your hair into a pony with your fave scrunchie.

4. Intricate Details

Details are life. While you definitely need to have a skilled hand or a willing friend to achieve this look, we think it’s worth the time and effort. You’ll need some heavy-duty gel, clear hair-bands, a fine-tooth comb, bobby pins and a straightening iron.

5. Chain Game

Elevate your classically sleek ponytail with some chain accessories. Watch the mini tutorial to see how easy it is to get the look. The tricky part is doing the hidden french braid, but once that’s taken care of, all you’ve got to do is attach the chains—and voila, you’ve created a masterpiece.

6. Short Hair, Don’t Care

Whoever said you can’t get short hair into a ponytail was seriously mistaken. We’re honestly tempted to chop off our locks because this hairstyle is so cute. After making waves, all you’ll need is texture spray, hair spray and a clear rubber band.

7. Dreamy Vibes

Channel your inner girly-girl with this stunning look featuring a pink satin hair-scarf. It’s supposed to look unkempt and like you just threw it together, so precision is not necessary. Tease your locks, put on the hair-scarf and finish off the look by tying your hair together.

8. Disco Dreams

Zendaya is a disco queen in this pic. If you’ve got a long mane or hair extensions, this look is for you. Lots of teasing and curling are required, but after that’s finished, sleek the top of your hair and gather the rest at the nape of your neck.

9. Side-Swept

Who could ever forget Bella Hadid’s red carpet look at the VMA? She looks like an absolute goddess, and we plan on rocking this hairstyle pronto. Make sure to blow-dry your hair to perfection with a round brush, flip the ends and leave a portion of bangs out.

10. The Grande

What ponytail list is complete without a bit of Ariana Grande action? Since she’s the ponytail queen, it was hard to choose just one, but we think this look is achievable and will look great on anyone. Find your fave sparkly hair clip and secure it to your mane for a glam style.
