Can I Wear a Hippie Headband with a Ponytail?

Anna Villaruel the bohonista :-)

I've seen a lot of women wearing hippie headbands with their hair in ponytails.

I tried it one day and one of my friends told me that it doesn't look good. Is is really a fashion no no or is it okay to wear your hair in a ponytail then put a hippie headband?

If you like wearing a hippie headband with ponytail and it enhances your personal style then why not go for it?

I personally think it's a nice look, but of course it depends on the face of the person who is wearing it and how you are wearing it.

What happens is that the headband shortens your face which can make your face look rounder/wider/chubby. It looks better when you place the band higher up on your forehead.

Here are some ideas on how to wear the ponytail-hippie headband-combo:

(ok, brace yourself, this is one of my first times posting pics of myself here on this site, he he)

1. Sideswept Bangs

You start by pulling your hair up in a mid-high ponytail and then put on the headband. And then pull out some of the hair in front of your forehead and sweep it to the side. Do it from the sideburns as well to create a relaxed look.

2. Messy Geisha

Pull up your hair up and create a messy Geisha ball and place the headband around your head. Let some of the hair stick out from the ball.

3. To-the-Side Ponytail

Just sweep all of your hair to the side (along with some height on top) but don't let it fall from the side, and create a mid-high ponytail. Pull the headband down and below the tail. Ylou could use some gel to keep the top of the hair in place.

4. To-the-Side Ponytail, Side-Swept Version

This is one of my favorite ways to wear a hippie headband. You basically just do a side part in your hair, create a low side ponytail and put on the headband (should sit above the tail)

That's 4 ways to look effortless and stylish with a hippie headband with a ponytail!

PS: Sorry if the explanation of each hair-do style is poor. I'm not too familiar with hair terms and words :/

Hope this gave you some ideas!
