There’s something about two ponytails that just feels lighter, more playful, a little bit nostalgic in the best way. It’s a style that gets dismissed as too young sometimes, but when you style it right, with the right part and the right texture, it looks intentional and current, not childish at all.
The two-pony look also happens to be one of the most forgiving styles out there for second or third day hair, since a little texture actually helps it hold. Here are twelve ways to wear it.
Classic Center Part Two Ponytails
Start with a clean, straight center part and pull each side into a sleek, even ponytail. Symmetry is everything here, so take your time matching the height and tension on both sides.
High Double Ponytails
Take both ponies up high near the crown for a sportier, more youthful energy. This version works especially well pulled back tight with a little gel for control.
Low Double Ponytails
For something more grown and quiet, drop both ponytails low near the nape. It softens the whole look and reads more sophisticated than the high version.
Braided Two Ponytails
Braid each ponytail once it’s secured for a version that holds texture all day and feels a little more finished for out-of-house wear.
Two Ponytails With a Zigzag Part
Swap the straight center part for a zigzag using the tip of your rat tail comb. It adds a little edge to an otherwise classic style without changing much else.
Curly Two Ponytails
Leave your natural curl pattern intact and simply section into two rather than smoothing everything down. It’s the quickest version and works beautifully on wash day.
