My look for today~ Fast & easy short ponytail for long hair

Hi friends,

This afternoon I put my hair up in a fast & easy short ponytail~ a fun mid-week hairstyle :-)  First I made the top English braid.  Then I gathered all my hair into a low ponytail.  I rolled my hair up once to make a ponytail the length I wanted, then wrapped the rest of my hair around the base of my ponytail holder like a bun.  Everything is held in place with a big hair clip.  Fun, fast, easy~ what's not to love?

   

"I Dream of Jeannie" Braided Ponytail

Hi everybody,

I hope you had a beautiful Sunday!  Today I fixed my hair in a style that reminds me of Barbara Eden's hair on "I Dream of Jeannie."  It must be the combination of a folded-under ponytail with a braided bun that brings her cute hairstyle to mind :-)

First I made five small accent braids.  Then I put my hair into a smooth high ponytail and braided the rest of my hair into two larger braids.  I folded all the braids up and under into a short ponytail, and wrapped the remaining length of my hair around the base of my ponytail to make the braided bun.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by to see my "I Dream of Jeannie" 'do!

Short Braided Ponytail for Long Hair

Hey everybody!

I tried another version of a short ponytail for long hair.  This time I put my hair into a smooth low ponytail.  Then I braided my hair into two English braids.  I looped these braids up several times until they looked like a short ponytail and then held them in place with two hairclips.  Some pictures:

Hey everybody,

Here are some pictures of a new favorite look~ I call it a short ponytail for long hair.  First I combed my hair back smooth and put it into a low ponytail.  I wrapped the top section of my ponytail around my fingers into one big loop, and held this first loop in place with a hairclip.  Then I made a second loop and clipped it in place on the right.  I took the remaining section of hair and pulled it up and over and formed a third loop on the left.  I held this last loop in place with another hairclip and was good to go!  The best part about this look~ it lasts all day long and it really frames your face from the front.
