Here's Proof That Low Ponytails Don't Have to Be Boring

There is nothing quite as perfect as second-day hair: not too coiffed but not yet messy, it's the epitome of model-off-duty style. But when the third day rolls around and our flowy waves turn into messy tangles, we attempt to hide our unruly, unwashed locks by throwing them in a low ponytail. This hairstyle is not just a means to hide dirty hair but rather a very popular option for all occasions.

In an effort to find more ways to hide the fact that we haven't washed our hair in 72 hours, we scrolled through Pinterest and found the top-trending ponytail hairstyles that are intricate enough to disguise copious amounts of dry shampoo yet simple enough to execute on our way out the door.
