If you are anything like me, you probably spend hours watching tutorials on YouTube learning how to create the most complicated braids ever. Sure, all these impossible hair-dos are pretty cool, if you work as a Tumblr model. If you are a normal person unlike me, then you probably don’t have time for this.

Still, want to get rid of the hair in your face and remain as hot as you always need to be? Well here’s a secret for you: there’s nothing like the ponytail. If you forgot how sexy you can look with only this simple accessory, here are 7 iconic ponytails to refresh your memory.

Audrey Hepburn’s Classy Star

A feminine icon? Audrey Hepburn. If you still see that beautiful naughty face on pillows, post-cards and other tea cups, it’s because that woman created a legend. She knew how to shine and she knew how to adapt. Seeing her with that busy-woman ponytail walking around Manhattan, will make you want to tighten your hair right away.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s City Woman

Six seasons of Sex and the City, hundreds of designers dresses, thousands of shoes and yet, one great hair-do. Why did Carry Bradshaw get mad at Burger her boyfriend? Because his motorbike helmet ruined her pony-tail. Sisters before misters.

Queen B does it too, but of course – she does it better. That applies to music, marriage, kids, and pony-tails. Our Majesty has been seen on the red carpet with a pony-tail aiming for the stars.
