I have added the tutorial as well and I really hope you would find it useful to create the hairstyle.

1. Messy Ponytail

• This is the best hairstyle for dry, messy and waxy hair.
• Avoid using the comb and apply some serum on the fingers and detangle the hair.
• Puff up the front portion and clip it.
• Take a rubber band and tie the rest of the hair as a ponytail.
• Take a teasing brush and tease the hair little bit to give volume.
• Use a hairspray to set the hair.

2. Wrapped Ponytail

• Comb out the hair well to detangle.
• Now take a rubber band and tie up the hair in a ponytail.
• Take a section of the hair below the ponytail and wrap it around the rubber band to hide it.
• Secure the end with a bobby pin below the ponytail.

3. Sleek Low Ponytail

• Comb out the hair and use a heat spray on the hair.
• Take a straightener and straighten the hair.
• If you already have straight hair, simply use a hair gel to make it sleek.
• Take a rubber band and tie the hair in a low ponytail. This is the perfect hairstyle for office or workplace.

4. Side Ponytail

• Comb your hair well and apply some spray to give a texture or hold the wavy look.
• Side part the hair and part out the fringes.
• Take the rest of the hair simply on the side and tie it with a rubber band into a ponytail.
• Blend and secure the fringes to create a carefree messed up look.

5. Textured Ponytail

• Comb out the hair well to detangle.
• Gather all the hair into a high ponytail and secure with a tight rubber band.
• Take a rubber band and tie it just 2 inches below the previous rubber band.
• With the help of your fingers, stretch the hair a little bit to puff it out or expand it to create a fluffy texture.
• Repeat this through the rest of the length of the hair.
• Curl out the end and the textured ponytail is ready.

6. Side-Braided Ponytail

• Comb out the hair well and take a section of hair from the side.
• Create a dutch braid until the end of the length of the hair.
• Gather all the hair, including the dutch braid and tie it into a medium-high ponytail.
• Take a section of the hair below the ponytail and wrap it around the rubber band to hide it and secure the end with a bobby pin.
• Take a teasing brush and tease the rest of the hair little bit to give volume.

7. Retro Ponytail

• Comb out the hair well and detangle it.
• Section out the hair into four parts – two from the front after side part and two from the back horizontally – crown part and nape area part.
• Take the hair from the crown part and tease it to create some dramatic volume.
• Arrange it into a puff with an inflated texture of the crown area.
• Next, tie rest the hair into a ponytail including the crown area.
• Now, go back to the front and use bobby pins to attach the hair from the front to the existing ponytail.

8. Curly Ponytail

• Detangle the hair well and make a slight puff or volume in the front.
• Gather all the hair and tie it into a nice ponytail.
• Take a curler and wrap all the hair of the ponytail around it for few seconds.
• Once done, don't run the fingers through the ponytail but curl it together to look like the picture above.
• This hairstyle is great for party or gatherings.

9. Fishtail Braid Ponytail

• Comb out the hair and gather it into a high ponytail by securing with a rubber band.
• Now, take the rest of the hair and do a loose fishtail braid and secure the end with a black rubber band.
• With the help of your fingers, pull the braid, little by little to add volume to the ponytail.
• Use a hairspray to set it.

10. Double Ponytail

• Comb out and detangle the hair well.
• With the help of a rat-tail comb, section out the hair into two parts by dividing it from ear to ear horizontally.
• Tie the upper part with a tight rubber band.
• Now gather all the hair, including the upper ponytail and tie it with a rubber band altogether.

11. Half-Up High Ponytail

• Comb out and detangle the hair well.
• With the help of a rat-tail comb, section out the hair into two part by dividing it from ear to ear horizontally.
• Tie the upper part as a high ponytail and let the hair fall from all over the sides.
• Take a curler and create some loose curls with the rest of the hair and blend in with the lower part of the hair which is to be left open.

12. Flip In Ponytail

• Comb the hair properly to detangle it.
• Gather all the hair into a low ponytail and secure with a rubber band but don't make it too tight.
• Now, divide the hair into two sections (don't open the rubber band) and put a finger in the middle of it. Pull the ponytail through the division just created (kind of like a loop).
• Stretch the hair to adjust and tighten a bit.
• Then again, do it three-four times to give a layered texture.
• And your flip in ponytail is done.
