Just because celebrities live a life that in no way resembles the ordinary lives of you and I doesn't mean there isn't a thing or two we can't learn from them. In this case, how to keep your hair out of your way yet still fashionable with a creative twist on the classic ponytail.
The Side Ponytail
To achieve a side ponytail, all you need to do is pull all of your hair to one side and secure it in a low position, usually behind your ear, with a hair accessory such as an elastic band or hair clip. After that, you can boost this simple look by stealing some styling ideas from these celebrities.
Anna Kendrick
This low-fuss side ponytail from Anna Kendrick is the basic way to pull off this look. The clean hair, simple side hair part, and the way she's wrapped a strand of hair around where her ponytail is secured is what makes this hairstyle option so quick and easy to achieve and suitable for everyday wear.

Paris Hilton
For a fancier version of the side ponytail you can look to Paris Hilton for what she does best - putting her own spin on things! She's gone for plenty of hair height, a hair knot to secure her side ponytail, and taken her loose length and given it some interest by braiding her hair.
Â
Vera Farmiga
Sometimes wavy hair left to flow wild and free can look a little bulky, but the side ponytail is great for keeping your curls and waves under wraps while still giving you a soft, romantic look. Just take your cue from the fabulous Vera Farmiga and pull those curls into a side ponytail.
