With wispy tendrils falling all over the place nowadays, I figured it was high time to give the bangless babes some love, too. I'd say polar opposite of the bohemian up-do would be the tightly together ponytail. Just this week alone, I spotted these three ladies wearing similarly sleek looks that focus on their face, makeup, and bone structure.
To bring this trend home, grab a high hold gel, paste, or pomade and comb your hair back so it's fairly smooth. Apply the product and then again comb it, this time fixing it up in your ponytail. Wrap and tuck part of your hair to hide the elastic, then style it wavy like Scarlett Johansson and Ashanti or stick-straight like Kim Kardashian. Lastly, I'd choose fun dangling earrings to lessen the severity of the 'do, but whether you leave your ponytail straight or curled is up to you.

During the cooler months it's a great time to something a little different with hair color. And this year, it looks like it's time to go red. In the past few weeks alone we've seen
Scarlett Johansson and
Evan Rachel Wood transform their locks to fierce crimson shades.
Like this feisty hue? Take a look at my slideshow to see some famous red-headed ladies from the present and past.
