1. Asian Hair Man Ponytail
Styling a ponytail on Asian hair? Here’s a tip: If you want to lay flyaways down, you can use a flat iron to straighten your hair before you gather it into a ponytail. To finish your style, add AXE Smooth Look: Shine Pomade for added shine.
2. Thick Hair Ponytail
In the mood to contain your thick hair for a day? Gather it all into a ponytail. This is a sleek look that can easily go from laid back to professional in no time.
3. Half Bun Man Ponytail
Here’s the perfect lazy-day hairstyle idea for you. Loop your hair halfway through the hair tie to create a half bun ponytail.
4. Bandana Ponytail
Want to make your man ponytail cooler than it already is? Add a bandana to create an edgy look. The bandana also acts as a headband, keeping stray hairs and flyaways out of your face.
5. Box Loc Man Ponytail
Have an undercut with some locs? Pull your locs up into a high ponytail to update your look. A style like this is also practical when needing to keep your hair out of your face.
6. Short Dread Ponytail
Need a new way to style your longer dreads? Gather your locs into a low loose ponytail. For a style like this where your scalp is exposed, opt for using a shampoo like Dove Men + Care Charcoal + Clay Purifying Shampoo to deeply cleanse your scalp and keep it healthy and clean.

You can never go wrong with a low ponytail. It’s a classic! Plus, if you’re looking for a style that will show off your facial hair, a look like this will put the attention on your beard.
