TikTok beauty trends are the very definition of hit or miss. Sometimes you'll discover a helpful technique like adding blush to your undereye concealer. Other times, you can find yourself applying (or ingesting) something that you probably shouldn't. Thankfully, the latest trending hairstyle on the social media app is a certified hit: the "pony braid."
It's just what it sounds like — a braided ponytail. Los Angeles-based hairstylist Justine Marjan tells Allure that the look has been trendy for years and has become popular "among influencers and on Pinterest as of late for its ease of styling and versatility with fashion." TikTok users have put their spin on the style by adding middle or zig-zag parts, colored hair extensions, beads, and more under the hashtag #ponybraid, which has over 774,000 views as of this publication. Though the braided hairstyle can be worn any time of year, it's appealing for those hot, summer days when you want your hair off your neck in a cute updo.
