4 inspirational low ponytail hairstyles for 2020

Natural And Romantic Messy Low Ponytails

You want to start with slightly curled hair. So, if your hair is straight naturally, use a curling iron with a large barrel to weave some waves into the mane. You want them to look natural, not over-the-top glamorous.

Secure the ponytail above your nape with an elastic hair band. Remember to leave out some wispy strands on both sides to frame the face and create a softer look. After that, take out a small portion of the ponytail and wrap around the hair tie to cover it up. Secure the end in place with a bobby pin.

Lastly, pull gently at the hair around your scalp for an effortless look and some extra volume.

Low Ponytail With Back Dutch Braid

Start by grabbing a small section of hair on the top of your head towards the crown. From there, create a big Dutch braid in the back going down the middle. When you have reached below the ears, tie the end of the plate with the rest of the unbraided hair.

Tug at the braid to add some volume to your hairdo. Now, you can either stop right there or go creatively wild with accessories like some edgy hair rings or cool hair clips for a more popping effect. This is one of the edgiest low ponytail hairstyles for 2020.

Boho Low Ponytails With Braids

Grab two small portions of hair towards the front, each on either side of your head. From there, create two tiny regular three-strand braids with each section. After you are done braiding, gather all of your hair into a low ponytail in the back.

If you are wearing this to school or work, you have finished the look. However, if you are having a date or a girl night out, spice up the look with some artificial flowers. Pick out tiny daisies or a big rose and clip them onto the braid.

When you have mastered this simple hairdo, you can level up by adding intricate braids on the sides. Who knows? Maybe someday you can even achieve the look of the beautiful one and only Daenerys Targaryen.

Low Ponytail With A French Twist

Start by gathering all of your hair to the back into a low ponytail. In this step, you need to make sure the front is sleeked back smoothly without any tuft going wild on your scalp. After that, create a half French twist by twisting the whole ponytail in one specific direction.

Secure the hairdo by pinning the twist upwards from above your nape. The rest of the hair should be sleek straight.

This style is more on the mature side compared to other low ponytail hairstyles for 2020. You can wear this to a formal event or a luxurious dinner for an elegant vibe.

Are Low Ponytail Hairstyles Hair-Protective?

This is a ubiquitous question that every girl has when she is trying out a new hairstyle. Is it doing damages to my hair? Is it causing my hairline to recede? Or is it increasing my hair fall? And so many more question of the like.

Then here’s good news for you: Low ponytail hairstyles for 2020 are very gentle and protective. Even if they do cause damages, which are only familiar in cases when people are doing their hair super aggressively, the harmful effect is still very minimal.

Unlike high ponytails, this lower version is not asking your hair to be in a firm position throughout the day or to be tied super tight. Not to mention the fact that your hairline, when you are wearing a low ponytail, will be perfectly fine since the weight is nicely distributed around the scalp.

With high ponytails or cornrow braids, the front part is pulled back with a much higher force. This means that over time, your hairline will be receding much faster than it should. In exceptional cases, you might even end up with a bald patch.

You don’t want to have a Jojo Siwa forehead, do you?

So, go ahead and rock the hell out of these low ponytails. Your hair is guaranteed to stay healthy at the end of the day.

The bottom line

We hope that these four low ponytails hairstyles for 2020 have inspired you to go out of your comfort zone and freshen up your look. Just be confident in yourself, and you are ready to slay any look, from girly to edgy, from elegant to chic.
