From high to low, a ponytail is an easy hairstyle that is a favorite of many women. Most use a simple hair band or possibly a ribbon to dress it up.* I am definitely a fan of the ponytail and I was thrilled to recently discover a new accessory that takes an average ponytail and turns it into a sophisticated hairstyle.

Designer Stefany Di Manno came up with an idea to create a leather ponytail holder. It is an elastic hair band attached to a leather covering. You use it like you would any hair elastic and then simply snap the leather into place around the ponytail. It is a simple way to dress up a basic look that has now grown in to many different styles and colors. Her ponytail holders come in leather, exotic prints (leopard, python and zebra), canvas (denim, pink, white and tan) and some (my favorites) are even covered with crystals. She also has a cute collection of little canvas bows. See a handful of her designs below.

Di Manno Designs have been featured in InStyle, as well as many online publications and more. The hair products range from $30-$95 (they also offer great package deals) and can be purchased online.
