Best Ponytail Hairstyles were showcased on Season 11 of NBC's The Voice by the perpetually saucy Miley Cyrus.

It was wrapped at the base with a thick sassy braid.

Her edgy pony amps up the drama because it combines icy platinum blonde with contrasting chocolate brunette sides, hairline and crown.

The beauty of Miley's bombshell blonde mile-long ponytail is it's simplicity.

How To - Best Ponytail Hairstyles

Follow the steps below to copy Miley's sassy style:

1.  Start with dry hair.

2.  Apply a light dash or sprinkle of hair powder to absorb excess oil, add grip as well as a hint of height around the crown.

3.  For a sleeker look, apply a dime sized dab of styling cream to finger tips.  Brush hands from hairline to back of head to remove loose strands or bumps.

4.  Use a boar bristle, barber brush or similar hair friendly paddle brush to create a sleek shape to the sides and top of your hair.

5.  Sweep hair up into a tight high ponytail positioned at the back of the crown and secured with one or more anti-slippage hook bungees

6.  Attach pony extension at the base of the pony.

7.  Wrap pony base with clip-in braid.

8.  If the ponytail is 100% human-hair, use a crimping or curling iron and randomly crimp or curl strands from top to bottom.

Note:  Never use heat or styling products on your clip-in extensions unless approved by the manufacturer.

9.  Dust finger tips with a texture booster.  Lightly run through sections before crimping for extra oomph.

10.  Once you're happy with the ponytail, mist a very lightweight oil spray all-over your head to add a noticeable sheen.

Then work some lightweight styling cream through the end of each ponytail to get that high-shine finish.

It's important to note that this look becomes too stuffy if everything looks flawless.

If any baby hairs pop out along the sides or the nape simply pat back into place with baby wipes.   Or lightly spray a comb or brush with hairspray and smooth into place.
