We can’t blame fashionistas for infusing modern and traditional culture. Seriously, how can we blame them when we are often tempted to try something modern with our traditional attire? Apparently, mixing up modern styles (ponytails) with a traditional outfit (saree) has become a trend. It is an innovative approach in the beauty industry. It is a modern uptake, adapting, changing, and acclimatizing while still not leaving the classic styles. Ponytails are not new, but fashion enthusiasts in the Indian beauty industry have added some flavors to classic ponytails, giving a unique modern touch. Most of them are pretty simple ponytails with little tweaks and accessories, so you can easily replicate them. Here, we have gathered some of the stylish yet simple ponytails that suit well with a saree.

Low ponytails are incredibly simple to style, and they do not appear too flirty. Waving up the pony lifts your style from looking too dull. The simplicity of the low wavy ponytail is fantastic because it fits superbly with the saree. Flaunting a simple low ponytail will complete your traditional outfit for any occasion.
Follow these steps to style a Low Wavy Ponytail
Step 1: Wash your hair and let them air-dry
Step 2: Brush back your hair and apply a fair amount of heat guard
Step 3: Tie your hair at the nape of the neck to achieve a low pony
Step 4: Hold a small section of hair from the pony and create waves (use a curler to achieve gentle waves)
Step 5: Finally, repeat step 4 to wave up all of your strands from the pony
It is a perfect balance, with neither too much focus on your hair nor the saree – instead, they appear equally elegant.
The Voluminous Curly Ponytail
The Curly pony with plenty of volumes oozes a modern feel due to the intentional extra volume. It is a perfect way to show off your simple yet tasteful fashion skill, and it looks terrific with the saree. Drape your saree over one of your shoulders and let the high-volume pony caress your back, or bring the voluminous pony over your shoulder and expose your back for a stunning look – just like Jacqueline in the picture.
Follow these steps to style the Voluminous Curly Ponytail
Step 1: Remove tangles from your hair with a wide comb
Step 2: Pull back your hair and secure them with an elastic band at the midsection of your head. For a stylish look, gather a section of hair from the sides and wrap your ponytail (look at the picture to get the idea).
Step 3: Apply heat guard to your pony and finger comb to ensure there aren’t any tangles
Step 4: Grab a curling iron and create voluminous waves to your ponytail.
This style requires a lot of volume and length, so it may not be possible for you to replicate the style with short and fine hair. You can tackle this issue by using a ponytail hair extension.
The Fishtail Ponytail
A fishtail pony is a classy and attractive hairstyle. This style is trendy among Indian women for special occasions. Many Bollywood celebrities pair this haircut with a brightly colored saree. Though this hairstyle may seem sophisticated, it’s simple to achieve a ponytail and a long fishtail.

Step 3: Secure your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck
Step 4: Part your hair into two equal sections
Step 5: Braid the two sections into a big chunk of fishtail until the ends and secure it with a small elastic tie
Step 6: Spritz a fair amount of hair spray, and you are ready for any occasion
The Classic Braided Ponytail
The combination of traditional clothes and ponytail hairstyles is very stunning. Braided hairstyles such as French, Dutch, classic three-strand, or a simple twist will bring a splash of beauty to your plain saree look. Braids appear artistic and exquisite on any Indian woman dressed in a lovely saree. A free and delicate braid looks excellent on naturally wavy hair.

Step 1: Apply heat guard to your dry hair
