What ponytail styles are recommended for active black women?

Ponytail styles that are recommended for active black women are the classic ponytail, low ponytail and side ponytail. Ponytails can be sealed with hair spray to last longer and to add shine. Wearing a scarf or headband around the hairline can help keep the ponytail intact.

Additional hairstyles that can withstand high activity or exercise include buns, braids and chignons. Buns can be worn in many of the same styles of ponytails, such as high, side and low. Bobby pins can keep the hair from moving. Types of braids consist of box braids, cornrows, French braids, Havana twists and micro braids that give braid-wearers a great variety.
