Appearing in the August 2014 issue of Teen [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club), it is chock full of fun ideas from bunned pigtails finished with [striped bows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/systemarosa) to low ribboned ponytails that match eyeshadows and even a simple statement band that creates a slick 60s look. As far as playful ponytails go, this photoshoot has it nailed. Shot by photographer Jason Kibbler, the playful ponytails are a great way to keep static-prone hair tamed as the months get cooler and dryer. Not to mention that they add a fun bout of personality to looks that are somewhat blase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Playful Ponytails:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing new hair accessories and products that cater to the playful ponytail trend. - **Creative Hairstyles:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating innovative hairstyling tools and techniques to achieve unique and creative hairstyles. - **Personalized Hair Looks:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in developing customizable hair products and services that allow individuals to create personalized ponytail looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation can be found in the fashion industry by creating new lines of accessories and clothing that complement playful ponytails. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can explore disruptive innovation by developing innovative hair care and styling products specifically designed for creating and maintaining creative hairstyles. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be explored in the photography industry by creating new techniques or tools to capture the essence of creative hairstyles in photoshoots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expressive Hair Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair.md) - [Multipurpose Beauty Booster Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-manytrick-pony.md) - [Accessorized Styling Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/style-treat-sweet-to-sleek-treat.md) - [Hairstyling Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vip-pets-spring-vibes.md) - [Expressive Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-in-color.md) - [Textural Lifestyle Nostalgic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair.md) - [Styling-Focused Hair Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nexxus-styling-collection.md) - [Dramatic Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti-pony-hair.md) - [Hair Repair-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantenes-new-campaign.md)
