Funky Ponytail Ideas:
Wear two or more pigtails. Think Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton style - either high pigtails on the top of her head that looked like dog ears, or low slung pigtails that started just below the ears for a real innocent school girl look.
Tie your hair up in knots. Hair knots and twists are a funky ponytail variation. One knot or two, twist your hair and pin it to your head. Pull a few loose strands out of the knots.
Create flirty curls. After creating the perfect slicked back ponytail, use your favourite hot rollers or curling iron to create a ponytail full of bouncy curls.
Splay the ends. Use some wax or hair paste to 'spray' the ends out of your pony tail. Wear a side tail. Pull all your hair to one side, and experiment with various options from splaying the ends to curling them. You can wear it high or low or in between.
Wrap it. Take one section of your own hair and wrap it around the top of your ponytail or pigtails. Try adding a clip-on braid or hair strand and wrap that at the top of your ponytail for contrasting texture or color.

Best Blow-Drying Tips
If you have a Cowlick - With a round or vent brush, dry your fringe hair forwards to weigh it down, or choose a hair cut that incorporates the cowlick into the style.
If you have a Double Crown - Drying the hair flat to the head will only make your double crown stand out more. Instead, firstly dry the hair in the opposite direction to what you want, and then dry it back the other way. This will make the hair stand up, and will cover up the crowns.
Save time by drying most of the moisture out of your hair by shaking it dry with your hand and hair-dryer. Use clips to pin the top layers of your hair out of the way and begin with the underneath sections.
Fully dry each section of hair before moving to the next to prevent it reverting back to its natural state.
For a smooth finish, aim the airflow from your hairdryer down along the hair, in the direction of the ends. This smoothes the hair cuticles and makes the hair shine.
A large paddle brush is a great finishing brush for that smooth silky look.

Hair accessories include: hair combs, hair clips, jaw clips, hairpiece, hair pins, French pins, hair barrettes, hair sticks, hair magnets, hair snaps, etc. They come in different interesting shapes, like alligator, flower, star, heart, butterfly and so on and decorated with crystals, beads, feathers, and bead in several varieties and combinations.
A headband works with all hair types. The classic way to wear a headband is either with your hair down and tied up in a messy bun. Sweep the band from your forehead to your crown, leaving some of your bangs out.
Make sure the piece is not too big for your hair.
If your hair is short, slide a couple of small diamante pins behind one ear for a subtle yet stylish look.
If your hair is long and fine, pull the top half into a mini-ponytail and tie with a bauble elastic.
If your hair is long and thick, wear it out with a medium-sized flower pinned just behind your ear, or in a bun with a larger flower secured to one side.
Create a catwalk look easily with the half-up, half-down hair do that was a hit at this season's shows. Take a small section of hair from just above each ear and secure at the back of the head with a vintage-style clip.
Barrettes or hair clips are a great way to create a simple, sleek look especially good for really short hair. With the recent explosion of hair accessories, you can find them in any shape or style. Also very popular for holding tiny dreadlocks into place to form a line of hair twists at the top of the crown.
Hair pins are wonderful accent pieces that nestle well into a sleek and sexy version of the French twist.
