Using shampoo more sparingly means you will probably come to a day when a sleek ponytail is the best — and easiest — style. But ponytail holders that are tough or textured can damage your hair if you put it up wet, says Moran. “If you put your hair up when it’s dry, it’s stronger and more resilient to breaking,” she explains. Also, Syck says, be sure to protect your hair by varying your updos, as the same placement each day can cause breakage or damage. A high ponytail today should mean a low one tomorrow or a pinned-up twist instead.
