Loud-mouthed rhyme spitter (and occupier of Miss Vogue Australia’s inaugural pages), Iggy Azalea doesn’t come without her faux pas. But one thing that’s always perfectly slick is her signature blonde ponytail – and unlike those skin-tight booty shorts, it’s something we’re not hesitant about trying.
Even if your hair isn’t platinum white and waist-length, a properly slicked-up and sophisticated ponytail is always a knockout look. See below for five styling products that’ll give you one perfect for working out, working in the office or heading out at night.
