low pony might sound basic, but this style gives it a chic upgrade. gather hair low at the nape of the neck in the center or loosely off to one side. separate a 1-inch section of hair, and then secure the remaining hair with a clear elastic. wrap the sectioned-off piece around the elastic to hide it, and then secure in place with one or two bobby pins. the casual but sophisticated style is perfect with a floppy or cozy oversized hat.
