This semi-advanced style requires mini elastics, a sectioning comb and a kid-friendly edge control. After the hair has been washed and stylers applied, make one large part from one ear to the other. Clip the bottom half of the hair out of the way and work on the top half. Determine how many vertical sections are needed and create small ponytails that are pulled vertically into the next. Use edge control to smooth any flyaways.
4. Sleek Baby Fro

Longer curls can tackle this fancy ponytail that’s perfect for weddings and other special events. A classic heart shaped ponytail starts by parting the hair down the middle into two parts. Next, create another part along one side starting at the crown and curving the heart towards the ear. Clip near the ear then begin a dutch braid using the hair from outside the heart part. Braid until you reach the back of the ear then unclip the other section. Continue braiding until you reach the nape of the neck then clip again. Repeat this entire process on the other side up until you reach the nape of the neck. Unclip both sections then combine all the hair together. Split into three pieces and continue with a regular braid. Secure with an elastic to hold the braid in place.
12. Bow-Tie Ponytail

If a bow-tie dresses up a shirt, it can surely do the same for your ponytail. A simplified version of the image shown is to smooth hair into sleek ponytail and secure with an elastic. Next, take two large pieces from the back of the ponytail and wrap them towards the front. Secure the two pieces into another ponytail but before pulling all the way through the elastic, leave it in a tucked position with a longer piece hanging. Next, press the tucked bun towards the base and wrap the longer piece over the middle. Pin well so that it resembles a bow.
