10 Middle-Part Ponytails We're Absolutely Loving

No-fuss hairstyles like middle-part ponytails are crowd favorites for a reason. Interestingly enough, "effortless" styles like messy buns and beachy waves require work. You'll find yourself in the mirror for an hour redoing your look to get it to look like the perfect messy style. It's so ironic how those rolled-out-of-bed styles are actually not effortless to achieve. On the contrary, pulling your hair back into a middle-part ponytail is one of the simplest low-maintenance styles on the map, and it looks amazingly put-together. 

Every celebrity is donning this classic style, which we see most frequently at fancy events with red carpets. Middle-part ponytails are the epitome of glamour and can be worn in a multitude of ways. You'll often see the style looking oh-so-sleek, achieved by a pomade and a lot of hairspray to lock the style in place. Or, it can be worn loosely and paired with tendrils and layers. If you haven't tried a center-part style yet, you should absolutely do it. Get ready for chicness overload, and feast your eyes on 10 of our favorite middle-part ponytails below.
