High ponytail
The hair is brushed back smoothly and gathered at the crown. It’s an energetic style that opens up the face and seems to lift the eyes, and it works at the gym and at a formal event alike.

About Ponytail
The effect of a high ponytail comes from how high it sits. Hair gathered close to the crown pulls the face upward and gives a more youthful expression. For a sleek version, blow-dry the hair smooth and brush it back. Wrapping a strand of hair around the elastic gives a more finished look.
On a round face, it creates a vertical effect that lengthens the face, and on oval and heart-shaped faces it highlights the features. On a long face, placing it slightly lower keeps things balanced. Thick hair makes a full ponytail, while on fine hair a layered ponytail made with two elastics looks longer and fuller.
Does a high ponytail suit a round face?
Usually very well. Hair gathered near the crown stretches the face vertically, and leaving a few fine strands at the sides softens the look.
How do I get a full ponytail with fine hair?
Split the hair into a top and bottom section and tie each with its own elastic, letting the top ponytail cover the bottom one. The result looks longer and fuller.
How many credits does it take to try Ponytail in Mane?
Each CONFIRM costs 1 credit and creates one image. Picking options and browsing uses no credits; a credit is only used when you press CONFIRM, and it’s refunded automatically if the generation fails. You can combine a hairstyle, color and beard in the same CONFIRM. During the beta, credits are bought in the app and the same balance works on the web.
