11 Knotted Ponytail Hairstyles That Look Chic When You Just Can’t Even

Lazy girls, rejoice, because messy hair just got a major upgrade! Woke-up-like-this bedhead is remixed for fall thanks to a slew of effortless knotted ponytails that range from low-slung and laid-back to high and tight. This simple style takes your go-to style to new levels via crisscrossed strands that are wrapped around the base of your pony. We’ve already shown you the ease and romance of the knotted wedding updo, but why not channel those devil-may-care vibes during the day? Here are 11 knotted ponytails that define haute hair.

1. Ponytail Twist: This nontraditional pony features a makeshift knot made out of… itself. Sweep your long hair back and out of the way, then wrap outer strands around the base of your pony and pin everything into place. The end result is oh-so chic. (Photo via Cup of Jo)

2. Sleek Knotted Low Pony: This stick-straight, slicked-back pony is totally on trend thanks to its minimalist appeal and subtle detailing. Crisscross your strands before securing them in a pigtail at the nape of your neck, then wrap your hair around the base of your pony, covering the hair tie. (Photo via Emilio Tini)

3. Low Pony Knotted Twist: This look begins like a regular low pony but then takes a distinctly fashion-forward detour. Choosing two strands from the underside of your hair, wrap them around the base of your ponytail to form a simple, braid-like twist. It’s a super easy detail that will have you looking instantly polished.

4. Messy Single-Knotted Low Pony: Since messy hair is the order of the day (and is a total cool-girl staple to boot), switch up smoothed-down strands for this lived-in look. The low-key, high-impact style is so chic, you can expect to see us rockin’ it on the reg. (Photo via LA Cool & Chic)

5. Double Knot Ponytail: You don’t have to be at the beach to rock this creative double knotted ponytail — it’ll slay from the boardroom to the boardwalk. Practice makes perfect, so spend a few minutes learning this easy DIY and rock it to every upcoming event on your calendar. (Photo via Hair Romance)

6. Knotted Ombre Pony: It’s worth mentioning that the knotted pony looks dope AF on a ‘do that’s dyed ombre. The pop of color begins right at the base of the pony and makes for a two-toned hairstyle perfect for any trendsetter. (Photo via Pinterest user Goop)

7. HighKnotted Pony: A high ponytail with a trendy knot is a fun and flirty variation of this season’s ultra-hot hairstyle. This original twist is a welcome distraction from all the low ponies we’ve been seeing (and loving). (Photo via Pier Marco Tacca/Getty)

8. Two-Minute Pony: The side ponytail is a tried-and-true favorite of all our Instababes with enviable hair game. With a sophisticated knot and curled ends, this fashion gal has pulled off a polished, knotted side pony FTW. (Photo via Say Yes)

9. Messy Knotted Ponytail: In our wildest bohemian dreams, we never even imagined the OTT-chic look of this long, wrapped and triple-knotted ponytail. Use two sections of your hair to delicately wind down the length of your tresses to create this romantic style that’s decidedly fairy-tale-approved. (Photo via The Beauty Department)

10. Festival-Ready Knotted Ponytail: It takes super-long hair to pull off this ornate look, but we’re dying to see a multi-knot twist go down IRL. The intricate plaits and twisty-turns play up the glam factor in this pony that would make Rapunzel jealous. (Photo via A Beautiful Mess)

11. Ponybun: Celebrate your style in ultimate lazy-girl fashion. This super easy look is so simple, you can be out of bed and on your way to your nine-to-five in a few minutes flat.

Looking for new ways to tie your hairstyle together? It’s time to take that quite literally and add a little black bow into the mix. What was once considered our go-to hair accessory in elementary school has become a red carpet staple in recent months. With Ashley Graham, Lili Reinhart, Nicole Kidman, and Emma Stone leading the way, we can’t help but want to follow suit. To learn how to add the feminine hair accessory into your beauty routine, keep scrolling for details on the stars’ stunning ‘dos.

Ashley Graham

The body positivity advocate and model paired a smooth, shiny bun with a handful of little black bows for a 2019 Oscars red carpet hairstyle that was anything but classic. Celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan began by blowdrying her mane into a center part. She then straightened from Graham’s roots down to her ends, using the ghd Platinum + Stlyer ($249), pulling away from the face and back towards the crown in the process. Next, she brushed from her hairline back to her crown and secured with a clear elastic after applying TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Gel ($5) along the way. She repeated the process for the bottom section of strands and put the full ponytail into a hairnet before twisting into a bun and securing with French pins. For the pièce de résistance, Marjan pinned mini Jennifer Behr black bows throughout and finished with a spritz of TRESemmé TRES Two Unscented Extra Hold Hair Spray ($5).(Photo via Dan MacMedan/ Getty)

Lili Reinhart

The Riverdale actress attended The Art of Elysium’s 11th Annual Black Tie celebration, HEAVEN, donning a little black bow to top off her all-black ensemble. “I felt like we could add a modern element,” says celebrity hairstylist Bridget Brager. “So I purposed a half-up, half-down look with a center part, I kept the lengths straight with a tiny flip.” To score the flyaway-free finish, she applied a dime-size amount of Moroccanoil Treatment ($34) to the mid-lengths and ends, as well as a golf ball-sized dollop of mousse, before drying with a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($400) and a large round brush. Next, she parted her hair down the middle, secured a half-up ponytail on each side, and a spritzed with Oribe Superfine Hairspray ($38) to lock both into place. As for the bow, that was a last minute addition. Before Reinhart walked out the door, Brager pulled out the ribbon and the whole team applauded, so they incorporated it into the look.

Nicole Kidman

The Destroyer Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture nominee walked the 2019 Golden Globes red carpet wearing a black velvet bow in her hair. “It was Nicole’s stylist Julia [von Boehm]’s idea, and I loved it,” celebrity hairstylist Kylee Heath says. “We wanted to have the hair up, but with a detail to tie in the black shoes.” To bring the idea to life, Heath began by blowdrying Kidman’s hair. She then sectioned the front out and pulled the rest into a low ponytail, which she curled and pinned into a low bun. She curled the free-flowing front section as well, though, to make it more ethereal, she brushed it out and applied a touch of the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum ($5) for added shine. Heath completed the look by clipping a Jennifer Behr Black Wide Velvet Bow Barrette ($152) above the bun and finishing with the TRESemmé TRES Two Unscented Extra Hold Hair Spray ($5).

Emma Stone

Who doesn’t love a schoolgirl updo? “A pony is always cool, never too formal, and it absolutely complements any outfit,” celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak says. “For the London premiere of Maniac, I created this full ponytail with a bit of a soft wave and a bow for Emma.” While the end look is relatively simple, it took quite a few steps to bring it to life. First, Roszak blowdried Stone’s locks in Velcro rollers, using PHYTO Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray ($30) at the root. After letting them sit for five minutes, she uncoiled them and curled her hair with a 1.5-inch curling iron for a loose bend. “I teased the hair a bit at the crown for added height (most textured pony tails can use it), then I pulled all the hair back into a mid-height pony tail, securing it with a strong elastic,” she says, noting to make sure that the hair tie is tight enough that it won’t budge. To perfect the pony, Roszak gently loosened a few face-framing tendrils for added softness and used a ribbon from the fabric store to tie it all together. “Before she went out onto the red carpet I sprayed Davines This Is A Shimmering Mist ($22) all over and brushed through the pony gently,” Roszak says. “Then I set it all with Leonor Greyl Voluforme Styling Spray ($36).” (Photo via ANTHONY HARVEY/ Getty)

One Tree Hill fans were heartbroken (and a little bit confused) when season 6 ended and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) and Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) left without a trace. It had been a season of danger, life-threatening situations, and literal murder, and for two of the show's leads to just fall off the face of the earth felt inconsistent with how tight-knit the friend group had always been. And viewers weren't the only ones to think so.

"This is the problem: They didn't give us enough to make where our friends went make sense," Drama Queens host Sophia Bush said of the "unfortunate" decision to write Hilarie and Chad out of the show. (Hilarie has said in a previous episode of the rewatch podcast that both her and Chad were "treated badly, and he defended me...Chad was my teammate.")

Keep reading for what Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Robert Buckley's thoughts on Peyton and Lucas leaving One Tree Hill.

Sophia Bush thought Peyton and Lucas leaving 'One Tree Hill' was "really weird."

Warner Bros. TV

One Tree Hill season 6 ended after Peyton almost died giving birth to her and Lucas' daughter, and after introducing baby Sawyer to the rest of the crew, they just...drive off into the sunset.

"I don't even remember where they moved. Where did they go?" Bethany Joy Lenz says, to which Robert Buckley replies, "They left in a convertible, so I'm gonna guess maybe the West Coast where it's a bit warmer and less rainy."

But no matter where Peyton and Lucas moved, the One Tree Hill cast can't quite wrap their heads around the fact that, in the story, Brooke literally never hears from Peyton again. "I used to ask, 'Why can't Brooke [Davis] be getting text messages from Peyton? Why can't you see them texting? Like, why am I not getting photo updates of this baby? It feels really weird.'"

And while Lucas returns for an episode in season 9, he was also radio silent for his three-season absence, as was his mom Karen. "Everybody, they just faded off into the distance," Bethany says. "I do wish they had kept that up in some more clear way. I don't think it would have been hard."

While Bethany Joy Lenz think is was because of "personal beef" behind the scenes.


But Bethany theorizes the onscreen confusion boils down to behind-the-scenes drama with creator Mark Schwann, whom the cast accused of sexual harassment in 2017. The women of the show wrote an open letter explaining how “many of us were, to varying degrees, manipulated psychologically and emotionally," and how "more than one of us is still in treatment for post-traumatic stress."

"I think it was some sort of personal beef behind the scenes," Bethany adds in the Drama Queens episode. "He was hoping the audience would just forget about them."

"Which seems so stupid because it's a choice rooted in ego," Sophia adds. "It's like, 'Dude, you wrote those characters, so you knew they were great. So why are we suddenly pretending they're not?'"

Fred Norris/Warner Bros. TV

Hopefully we'll see all our favorite Tree Hill Ravens return for a One Tree Hill sequel series. While the show hasn't been officially greenlit at Netflix yet, Hilarie Burton exclusively told Brit + Co that everyone involved in the show is "really proud of the work that we did back then too. And so to see the public support this little show we made 20 years later, that's so special and it's so rare."

You can stream all of One Tree Hill on Hulu now — and read up on Chad Michael Murray's Perfect Idea For The One Tree Hill Reunion.

Colleen Hoover (and her books) aren't afraid to make a statement. BookTok is still reeling from Verity, while the rest of the internet can't stop talking about all the It Ends With Us behind-the-scenes drama. and Hoover's newest adaptation, Regretting You, is just as gripping and emotional as all her other stories. The movie is based on the 2019 novel of the same name, and while It Ends With Us centers around romantic relationships, Regretting You is all about mother-daughter relationships.

What's 'Regretting You' about?

Amazon

Regretting You follows Morgan Grant (played by Allison Williams), who put her dreams on hold years ago when she got pregnant with her daughter Clara (McKenna Grace). Their age gap mirrors the one we see we see between Lorelai and Rory in Gilmore Girls, but instead of the Gilmores' close bond, Morgan and Clara's relationship becomes more strained the older Clara gets — especially when Morgan's husband Chris passes away in a tragic accident, revealing a secret that could change Clara's life forever.

While It Ends With Us is a larger production from Sony, Regretting You will be an indie production. Stay tuned for official production details!

Who's in the 'Regretting You' cast?

Monica Schipper/Arturo Holmes/Getty Images

Allison Williams (Get Out) and McKenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) lead the Regretting You cast. These two are joined by Dave Franco (Now You See Me), Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Willa Fitzgerald (The Fall of the House of Usher), and Scott Eastwood (Wind River: Rising).

The movie will be directed by The Fault in Our Stars' Josh Boone and written by Susan McMartin.

When does 'Regretting You' come out?

JESHOOTS.com/Pexels

Regretting You comes out on October 24, and it's easily one of our most-anticipated movies for 2025!

Is 'Regretting You' a spicy book?

Pixabay/Pexels

Regretting You definitely has less spice than Colleen Hoover's other books. In fact, this TikToker ranks it as her least-spicy book! Since the story focuses on Morgan and Clara, instead of a romantic relationship, this is a good pick for any readers who prefer less spicy books.

What's the message of 'Regretting You'?

Alexander Grey/Pexels

Regretting You is all about life, which I know sounds like a huge message! But the story introduces us to an established family rather than two people who want to begin a family. Chris, Morgan, and Clara already have relationships with each other, and as time passes in the story, Regretting You shows us how circumstances can change, how overwhelming our emotions can feel, and how strong our family bonds can become.
