In addition to bold prints and patterns and deep marsala hues, there's another major trend that is making itself known in the beauty and fashion world: the low pony. Spotted on the runways and red carpets, this simple and sweet trend is getting a chic new spin, and we love it! Check out the reasons we are ALL about the low pony!

It's Easy
Who doesn't love a hairstyle that takes under five minutes to put together. Seriously, the low pony is as low maintenance as they come. All that's required is a little product (gel, texturizing powder or hairspray, depending on the look you're going for) and an elastic band or two (again, depending on the look you're going for). Try sprinkling your hair with a little texturizing powder and teasing it a bit at the crown before pulling it all back into a low pony. This creates a chic, messy pony that looks more complicated than it is!
