This isn't your average lazy updo — the "Barbie ponytail" is red carpet-worthy. "This a fun look to do when wearing a turtleneck or earrings," Sarah Potempa, a celebrity hairstylist and the founder of The Beachwaver Co. says. Celebrity hairstylist Becca Mader adds: "Showing off your cheekbones and getting hair off your shoulders is perfect during sweater weather." It sits high on the back of the head and is traditionally worn sleek, but you can customize it to fit your style.
How to Get the Look at Home: Potempa recommends you start by straightening your hair with a flat iron to achieve a sleek, frizz-free look. Then, pull hair back into a high ponytail using a hook elastic. To take it a step further, incorporate some clip-in extensions, like the Bellami x Andrew Fitzsimons Hair "The Ponytail" ($215). Finish off the look with some hairspray to tame flyaways.
