Elsa from Frozen - tied and tidy ponytail. Style of the season, by Angela Lansbury. Post 759.

 I first saw this style of ponytail worn by a mother at a soft play centre in Mill Hill. Post 744.

Then I saw it again, worn by an entertainer dressed as Elsa from the film (Americans say movie) Frozen, for a five-year-old's birthday party.

When I looked it up in Wikipedia I could not find it under hair styles. I eventually found pictures under the word ponytail. When I was a child a ponytail was usually what was described in Wikipedia as a high ponytail. Ponytails from the nape of the neck were more discreet, more usually a style preferred by men.

When I looked in Wikimedia Commons I found the same picture again of the style I was trying to track down and name, this time with the words tied ponytail. 

Notice six hair ties or bands, all different colours.

I have at last discovered how to give the photographer credit quickly. Instead of trying to copy the name and get the spelling right, you simply copy the entire box.

Here's the picture the first time I saw the style. Post 744.

So now I know what to call it. I can ask for my hair to be done in this tied ponytail style. Or for a wig in this style. Or style a doll's hair in this style.

|Useful Websites

I saw one wig with a separate wig cap supplied on Amazon at £29.99. You add your own ties to make the tied ponytail style. Read the reviews. One customer bought a wig headband to keep it in place. Wearing it all day constantly requires more comfort than having it on quickly for a photo at a fancy dress party or photo booth accessory for a party. 

You can buy hair of all types. Real hair might be more comfortable or realistic, if you wear a wig for religious reasons, or to cover hair less, or temporary hair less during cancer treatment.

Depending on the wearer's age, height, and style preferences, you might choose hair of different lengths.

Hairdressing Dolls

You can also buy dolls and doll head and shoulders with fixed, embedded hair, or a bald head assorted wigs, for different skin shades, eyes, ages and appearances.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

Image
    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
