Double-Frenchbacks into High Pony | Cute Ponytail Ideas
October 14, 2012
As an initial note, this is actually a 3rd-day hairstyle on my daughter…
On Day 1, she had used a high twisty bun, then removed it on Day 2 to leave subtle curls with a pullback on top, and this ponytail style what we used on Day 3…
My girls and I have been wearing this ponytail hairstyle for a few months now after seeing it on Pinterest. Just the other day, I uploaded a photo on Instagram of me wearing this ponytail when I was in LA a few weeks ago. Our fans there loved it!
This easy pony hairstyle incorporates a pullback {pompadour} on top and French-braided sides that are brought up with the remaining hair into a high ponytail…
I then took a small strand of hair from the ponytail and wrapped it around the elastic band, for a cute hair-wrapped pontail.
You will find that this pony hairstyle is perfect for cheer, gymnastics, other sports, or simply to wear around any day!
I receive emails all the time from moms who love ponytails, but are looking for cute ways to spice them up! This will do it, and you will receive compliments all day!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 large hair elastic, 3-4 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Happy Hairdoing!

so cute!!!!
I love the hairdo, but how do you keep your hair curly after three days? Mine always is flat after sleeping on it.
love it
I really like this hairstyle! However, for me, the french braiding doesn’t look as woven(?) or intricate, probably because my hair is thinner. I just do a dutch braid on either side and pull the edges, or “pancake” them to make the dutch braids look fuller and pull all of my hair into a messy bun.
Where did you get your hat? It’s soooo cute!
I love it!! What do you do with shoulder length hair??
Cute! I will definitely try this.
I love this post. Can’t wait to try this on my tween!!
That’s so cute! Do you think you could do a section for when you have wet hair? Cause there are a lot with dry hair that ate hard to do with wet hair. Thanks!
Love It! Finally, something I think I can do on myself! :p
Wow i love this one I have short hair but growing out. So this will be a perfect one to remember.Thank u so much.
Very Cute! Love it! Just watched it with my sister and She loves it as well!
Im very picky with my hair but that was so cute I could wear it every day
love this hairstyle
I am a huge fan or this because, I myself have basketball tryouts this week and I always have some cute braid in my hair and this is a perfect way to keep my hair cute, but functional for sports!
Thank You! Ponytails are my daughter’s favorite but they always end up a mess and halfway out by the time the day ends(besides the fact that they are boring to a creative mother). This will help a lot with the little (and not-so-little) fly-aways that fall out the sides and top. We get compliments all the time on the hair-dos we use from your site.
LOVED IT!!! will try this on my little one
Hi Mindy! I LOVE your website and am always excited to see what new tutorials you have posted!!!!!!! Keep the awesome work and say hi to your daughters for me!!!!!!:):):)
Hey Mindy, Love all your cute hairstyles. You have helped me learn so many ways to do my girls’ hair. I know a lot of people can do basic things like holding the top hair with bobby pins, but I am one of those people that even need to see how you did that. I attempted it, but it definitely didn’t look as good as yours. Also, when you did videos in your bathroom at the sink, I could see a lot better because the camera was closer up and a lot of times the angle was from the hair-doer’s perspective. I felt like this one was too far away and I couldn’t see as well what you were doing. Thanks!
I love this style! It works great for my 3 year old’s long curly hair and she was able to play and have fun like a little kid and it still looked great at the end of the day. I vote more cute ponytails! Keep up your awesome work! Thanks:)
hey im 9 so i love this and i love all your hairstyles all of your girls have eyes that im so jealous of and i would love to have more cutsie ponytails
I love your website! But could you do a quick tutorial on how to do the “Bump It” that was on the front of the hairstyle? I can never figure out how to make those look good for my hair!
I too would like to know exactly how to get that “bump it” affect.
Ditto the question re: the bump in the front. I am having trouble making it look right with my daughter’s thin hair. Can you tutorial it?
More ponytails!!! And no-heat curls!!! And I have one question for mindy- I heard about rachel and I was wondering how much money you need to raise for her? And if you could can you please answer this question in the next video? Thankyou sooooo much. And whenever you talk to her again please say hi to her for me.
