"Sure, a mini-ponytail is nothing new, but sometimes it&amp;#x27;s the simplest of hairstyle ideas that you somehow forget about when it&amp;#x27;s time to do your hair. So let&amp;#x27;s all thank Nicole Kidman for reminding us all just how frickin&amp;#x27; cute this tried-and-true half-up &amp;#x27;do can be, shall we? There are a few elements here that are really working for me. 1) I love how perky it is. You can achieve this my putting your hair in the elastic band and grabbing a lock on either side of the ponytail and pulling them tighter so the band moves down closer to your scalp. 2) She only took the top 1/3 of her hair here&amp;amp;#8212;had she gone for 1/2 or more, it would have taken on a very different (read: not as cute) vibe. And 3) She left her bangs out so there&amp;#x27;s a little bit of detail in the front there. Overall, it&amp;#x27;s lovely. And way better than the sort-of-bun-in-a-jaw-clip hairstyle I usually tuck my hair into when I&amp;#x27;m in a hurry. Well, done, Nicole. Well done indeed. Do you guys ever wear your hair like this?
