Black Ponytail Hairstyle for Short Hair
Ponytail hairstyles are easy to create, especially if you have short hair. The key is to use a curling iron to add volume and texture. To do this, start by sectioning off the top half of your strands with a clip or bobby pin. Then use your fingers or a rat tail comb (or both) to smooth out any knots in the back of your head so that all of your hair is tangle-free.
Next, brush down the front section with a bristle brush from root to tip - this will help create volume at the roots without making it look greasy or weighed down by product buildup over time! Once everything's looking good there, grab an elastic band that matches your hair color and wrap it around about an inch above where you want your ponytail holder placement spot on top of where those two sections meet up together behind one another.

Ponytail Hairstyle for Long Black Hair
Pull your hair back into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band.
Use a soft bristle brush to smooth out flyaways and create volume at the roots of your ponytail, then flip your head upside down and use the same brush to smooth out the ends of your hair so they're not sticking out all over the place (this is called "backcombing").
Separate your hair into four or five sections, depending on how thick it is; then twist each section tightly around itself before smoothing out any kinks with a fine tooth comb until all of them are as neat as possible (this will keep them from getting tangled up when you put them in braids later).
Apply hairspray liberally throughout all of these braids so that no stray hairs come loose during dance class!

Ponytail Hairstyle on Black Straight Hair
To get this look, start by curling your hair. If you don't have a curling iron, you can use a flat iron instead.
Next, apply some hair gel to keep the style in place and add volume to your ponytail. For extra volume at the top of your head, spray on some texturizing spray before pinning up your locks!

Voluminous Ponytail Hairstyle for Black Hair
You can create a voluminous ponytail hairstyle for black hair with the help of a volumizing mousse and a curling iron. To start, apply the mousse to damp hair and then blow dry it using a hair dryer until it's completely dry. Next, carefully curl sections of your strands using your curling iron (be sure not to use too much heat). Once you've curled all of your hair, brush out the curls with your fingers in order to smooth them out. Finally, spray some hairspray onto the top section of each strand - this will help hold everything in place!
