All bow down to the Queen of Ponytails, Ariana Grande! Her lengthy tresses are perpetually pulled up into a high pony, making it her signature ‘do. But every so often, Ariana surprises us with a slight style switch – from her micro bangs to bold hues – keeping us on our toes.

Yet while we love to see how she mixes things up, we can’t deny that her ponytail + bangs combo is one of our faves! By crimping sections of the length of her ponytail, Ariana gives the look a ’90s nod and keeps her bangs blunt for a fierce finish – kudos!
