Taylor Swift paired that classic red lip that I like with a new hairstyle. On June 12, the pop star was spotted in Florida at a hockey game alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Clad in her signature cat eye and paired with a bold matte lip, the singer was back in her WAG era as she cheered alongside fans at the game. Of course, the main attraction for me wasn’t the two teams going at it for a chance to win the Stanley Cup. Instead, it was Swift’s updo that felt like a blast from the past and simultaneously super trendy.
Swift’s hair was first pulled into a high ponytail, the end of which was braided and then secured with a scrunchie. The look allowed her bangs to be front and center, simultaneously showing off her chic diamond earrings. A red manicure and monochromatic sweatsuit completed her look.
While bobs are undoubtedly having a moment right now (just ask Natalie Portman, Carrie Coon, and even Gigi Hadid), there are still a few stragglers in Hollywood that are hanging on to their love of long hair. Still, for those who are growing out their bobs à la Hailey Bieber, Swift’s hairstyle is one of the many that you can keep in your back pocket for a style that’s just as cute as it is functional—especially if, like me, you don’t love the feeling of your hair being all over your face and body.
This braided ponytail is one of my favorite hairstyles to pull out when I don’t want to think too hard about how to do my hair. As such, there are a few items that I know are non-negotiable to get the look. Keep reading for the products you need to recreate Swift’s chic braid hairstyle.
A little bit of gel can help to keep a braided ponytail neat and sleek throughout the day.
Bangs and dry shampoo are a match made in heaven to keep them looking fresh without having to do a full wash day. Try an easy-to-use dry shampoo puff to blot away excess oil.
One of my favorite hacks to make a hairstyle look more seamless is to use a scrunchie that's the same color of your hair.
