If you have a bob that is long over-due for a trim, gather as much hair as you can in a ponytail at the base of the nape. Don’t worry about the layers of hair that can’t be tied. Simply slip in a few bobby pins to keep them in place to work a look similar to the one worn by the classy screen-goddess, Lee Young Ae.

In a recent episode on SBS’s I Will Win You Over With My Channel, Lee Young Ae showed of her  twins in a trip to visit their old house in Yangpyung. The 48 year old flaunted her porcelain skin framed by her effortless low ponytail hairstyle.

The lead actress in her latest drama Love Alert is often seen in a classy low ponytail when she isn’t showing off her voluminous blow-out.

“For it to be natural yet polished, the key to this gorgeous low pony tail look is first and foremost healthy hair. Then to create volume and texture in the crown area, use Milbon Thickening Mist to create volume and texture. For medium-coarse hair requiring stronger hold, try the L’Oréal Techni art Pli,” shares Wen Xin.

Be it curtain bangs or side bangs, Yoon shows that the low ponytail can work well with different styles.

For those with bangs framing the face, curl them loosely by setting your curling iron to a low heat setting. Wen Xin also shares,“To maintain the tousled look minus the flyaways after a long day at work, use a very light hairspray such as the Schwarzkopf Osis+ hair spray to tame the hair. A very simple way to make it more chic is to accessorize. For ladies with short bangs, spice up the look with golden bobby pins.”

Australian-American actress and producer, Nicole Kidman gathered her hair in this hairstyle at the recent premier of her latest movie The Destroyer. Putting her blonde hair back, all eyes were on her sharp pant suit which the 1.8m tall actress wore with regal elegance.

China’s highest-paid actress Fan Bing Bing is also a fan of this look. The 37 year old has worn the look for a video collaboration with Sa Sa, a leading cosmetics retailer in Asia.

She has also worn the low ponytail hairstyle at the recent iQIYI Ninth Anniversary Gala, with her bangs swept to the side for a face-framing look. For a sleek and seamless look, match the colour of your hair tie with your natural hair as much as possible. If you are feeling more dramatic, experiment with a simple ribbon hair tie or an attention-grabbing hair pin.

Queen Bey herself loves this look as seen in her recent photoshoot where she gave the look a twist with an ultra-long ponytail gathered at the nape of her neck. “Ensure that the hairstyle suits you and frames your face well. If having your bangs pinned back doesn’t enhance your facial features, then let your fringe take center-stage once again,” Wen Xin advises.
