Braided Ponytail Ideas: 40 Cute Ponytails with Braids

Braided ponytails can be worn with anything. You can wear them to formal engagements, like your friend’s wedding, or to your laid back weekend outings, like your neighbor’s barbeque. There are braids and tails for every occasion! Whatever events you have coming up, be sure to look through our 40 ponytails with braids and pick out the perfect one for you.

The Trick of Braided Ponytails

We are a bit bored with simple ponytails, high or low ones. Braids can upgrade this basic hairstyle and make it unique. A side French braid, fishtail, Dutch braid, 4-strand braid or a few thin regular braids can blend into your pony or be a part of it. See the examples and tutorials!

#1: Large and Loose Braid with a High Pony

This is one way to be large and in charge! Ditch a braided bang, and step up your high ponytail with a jumbo French style. This size creates a lattice weave effect throughout the front of the style for a cool sculptural appearance that will be the focal point of your hairdo.

#2: Fierce Faux Mohawk

One of the benefits of wearing a style with braids is that you can create looks you might not wear otherwise, like this fun and funky Mohawk. Insider tip: tease your roots in the front to get the height and volume seen here.

#40: Brunette Macrame Braid

There’s nothing basic about this French braid that incorporates a box weave throughout the middle. Sometimes a hair tie can seem too casual, and in that case an elegant silver accessory will elevate your look to appear more formal.

Out of all these braided ponytails, which are you most excited to try out at home? They’re versatile and fit for any hair texture, so hop on in and get to styling!
