Compared to short hair, long hair is more in demand and vogue. The lucky ones, who have long hair, have the advantage of doing wonders with their hair in absolutely no time!

What you need for creating multiple ponytails:

(1) Shine products or hair spray.
(2) Hair wax or grease
(3) Hairbrush preferably of boar's head
(4) Hair decorations or jewelry
(5) Hair bungees or elastic bands

Procedure:

- Brush the hair until it is smoothed and detangled.
- Pick all the hair from ear tops to forehead, separate it into three equal sections, to make three base ponytails.
- Brush each of the ponytails back into another mini-ponytail and tie an elastic band or hair bungee. The elastic should be tight enough to hold the hair in place.

In case of strong hair, crimp your hair into small sections. People with thick hair can be more adventurous. They can try with as many ponytails as they like.

This style looks great with highlighted hair or hair that has streaking or color chunks. You can try this style on one or two day's old shampooed hair.

... step to creating basic multiponytails is trying out different knotted or braided styles.

Each of the separate ponytails can make one braid or many of them. You can have more complicated braids than the standard three strands one. Better, the mood and more the time more complicated the braid. You can either pin up your braids or wear them down.

Thin haired people need not to loose heart. Make less ponytails and smaller braids. Another creative option is to braid the middle of the multi ponytails and leave the side ones unbraided.

The diversifications are unlimited, only catering to your mood, time and imagination.

Remember that the right tools are essential while creating multipony look. If you are going for a formal event, use bungees or elastic bands matching your hair color or maybe your dress. If you want to have a casual look, use contrasting colors.

Hair bungee is favored more because it simple wraps around the hair and then is closed with a tiny hook. It does not rip or pull at hair.

Jeweled hairpins can be pinned on top of each ponytail. Crown section of the hair can be bejeweled. Freshly shampooed hair is not necessary.
