The unspoken truth is that most of our mornings, at least those where we’re barely managing to make it to work on time, are a blur. You probably find yourself rushing out the door – handbag in one hand, cellphone in another – promising yourself to wake up earlier the next day. But we all know how that goes. In a time where we don’t have the luxury to fuss over our mane, the humble ponytail offers convenience without compromising on style.
The trusted ponytail can get you through the day – right from a board meeting to happy hours and everything in between. Whether you’re flexing muscles in the gym or taking the party home, the ponytail keeps your hair off face and saves the day.
