Or, switch it for a low braided ponytail for a cosmopolitan look. Brush out any stray hairs and pull the rest of your hair back or to one side. If you want to add a little of texture, put a few small braids in. Apply a mild hairspray to your hair.

The round face

If you have a round-shaped face you will want to bump up some volume on your crown and also wear a middle part to make your face seem longer. You can elongate your look further by having the ponytail high on your head. 

To do this use a volume adding shampoo that you spray on the roots and then gently backcomb the hair. Comb, rather than brush, your hair to separate the sections without removing the volume you've just achieved. Pull your hair to the top of your head, leaving a few strands loose to frame your face. With a hair tie, you can keep your ponytail in place. Spruce up your look with a scarf or headband.
