  When people think about ponytail hairstyles, they're often reminded of their childhood days. Curly ponytail hairstyles worn today are what you make of it. They can be fun or sophisticated, they work well with most hair types and they are the perfect hairstyle to showcase your facial features.
  
  

Curly Side Ponytail

• This hairstyle is perfect for medium-length to long hair. You can begin this hairstyle by roller setting your hair or curling it with a large barrel curing iron. Once the curls are set, use your fingers to gather your hair to one side of your head to create a loose, low ponytail using a ponytail holder. If you have any bangs, keep them out and wear them swept slightly over the forehead contrasting the other side of the ponytail or wear your bangs with an off-center part styled to the same side as the side ponytail. Finish the style by spraying it with a light hold hairspray.
  
  

Curly High Center Ponytail

• Once you've curled your hair using a curling iron or hot rollers, allow the hair to cool for a few minutes. Gather all of your hair into a ponytail at the top of your head. Use a paddle brush to gather all your hair to make sure the sides are smooth. Secure it with a ponytail holder. Use bobby pins to pin some of the curls loosely on the top of your hair to create a curly updo ponytail. Leave a few hair strands of the curls out to finish the look. Add a few decorative hair pieces and spray your hair lightly with a finishing spray once your hair is complete.
  
  

Curly Pigtails

• This fun hairstyle is perfect for young girls all the way up to adult females who are feeling youthful. The hair can be divided equally down the middle horizontally or parted diagonally for a creative twist to the hair style. Once the hair is secured in individual ponytails, you can take a curling iron and curl the ponytail to create a curly look. This style is also perfect for people whose hair won't stay up in a single ponytail because of shorter hair pieces. In this case, pigtail ponytails will better secure the shorter length hair.
