9 Common Ponytails And What They Say About You

We infer a lot about people when we first meet them. Even if you haven't spoken to someone yet, you might still assume a lot about her from something as small as how she does her hair. So, what is your ponytail saying about you?

Pigtails

It seems more women are trying to pull off this look, but it screams desperation. Pigtails look cute on little girls but on a grown woman it appears as trying to hard to look youthful. Women who wear pigtails tend to be erratic and high-energy.

High Side Pony

This look was hugely popular in the ’80s and ’90s. While it can still be done in a chic style today, it is almost always a callback to an era gone by. Girls who rock the high side pony are very energetic and free-spirited. Since they wear their hair in a ’90s style, they probably are a bit nostalgic as well.

Dyed Dreads

You probably don’t need my help telling you what this super edgy look means. People are often intimidated by daring hairstyles like this, but girls that can rock it are actually some of the nicest people you’ll meet, so don’t shy away from them. Girls with this style tend to be very creative and artistic, and passionate about their beliefs.

Cinched Ponytail

This style is very pretty, and elaborate. Women who tend towards more elaborate ponytail styles might come off as stuck-up, but they really just take great pride in how they are presented to others. These women also tend to be the ones in the group who can keep a conversation going and bring life to it.

Medium Ponytail

This ponytail look creates a comfortable and sophisticated appeal, and can be worn by just about anybody. This style looks best while wearing jeans and a shirt. Since the style is so casual, women who wear it often are probably very laid-back in their management style but no-nonsense when it comes to athletics.

High Pony

This style is ideal for exercising especially if you have long hair. This ponytail can be created by flipping your head forward and gathering all the hair on top of your head while creating a smooth ponytail on top of the head. Since there are many versions of the high pony, how you wear it is what’s most telling about yourself. In general, this style is great at exuding a carefree vibe.

Braided Pony

Whether the braid is a French braid, a fishtail braid or a simple three strands braid, this style looks amazing when dressed up for an evening out. Because of the intricacies and time that can go into this type of ponytail, the women who wear it

Front Bump Ponytail

This look is perfect for going out on a date or girls night with the friends. A simple ponytail in the back but a bump on top of the head will add texture and height to your head. Women that can pull off this chic look are full of personality and tend to be the life of the party.

Antenna Ponytail

This hairstyle is a low or high ponytail with stands of hair pulled out from along the hair line on the front of the face. Strands of hair are often pulled from the left and the right sides to give the face a nice face frame. Women who rock this look are often more interested in vintage fashions and media rather than the popular trends.

Half-Up-Half-Down Ponytail

This style is a great choice when it comes to dressing up but not wanting to do to much to the hair. It is a simple style that does not require a lot of time to create. The women who tend towards this look are usually captivating wildcards: you don’t know what they’ll do next and you sure don’t want to miss out on it.

Low And Parted

This style is perfect for an evening out on the town or dressed up for date night. The look says sophisticated and elegant. Much like the events that one would wear this ponytail to, the women who sport it tend to be sophisticated and matter-of-fact.

No-Part Slicked-Back Pony

This is the simplest of all the ponytails. Just grab all the hair while using a flat brush to make sure no bumps or tangled are present and place in a scrunchie or rubberband in the back of the head. The women who prefer this style are highly focused and can’t live without their planner.
