According to The List's survey, the most popular lazy hairstyle with 34.58% of the vote is a ponytail. The classic updo takes virtually no time at all and allows you to go about your day without your hair tickling your neck and falling flat. (But beware of flyaways!) Whether you prefer a bouncing high pony or a long-hanging pony that you can tuck into your favorite hat, ponytails are a great lazy-day hairdo when you're not quite ready for wash day.
Ponytails are a great, low-maintenance hairdo, but try not to get into the habit of throwing your hair up every single day, as wearing a ponytail too often can be harmful to your hair and scalp. Hair care specialist Jenna Marie Schafer told Byrdie that wearing a ponytail every day in the same position puts stress on your hair follicles and can lead to breakage. If a tied updo is your daily go-to, there is a way to practice healthy ponytail habits. Well + Good recommends ribbon hair ties or scrunchies with loose fabric that doesn't put direct strain onto your hair like elastic hair ties do. And make sure that you take your hair down at the end of the day; you never want to sleep with your hair in a ponytail.
