J.Lo's Simple Ponytail Solves All of Your Date Night Hair Dilemmas

It’s the ultimate date night dilemma: You have to stay late at work before your meet-cute so a blowout, and even touching up your waves in your office bathroom is out of the question. So, what do you do? Jennifer Lopez’s lunch date hairstyle is your answer.

Lopez pulled her loose waves up into an easy, tousled, high-ponytail for a lunchtime date with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez earlier this week at The Sea Grill in New York. It’s an effortlessly pretty style that can be done in two-minutes flat, whether you’re using your desktop’s built-in camera as a mirror or you’re in the back of an Uber en route to dinner.

To add extra shine, keep end-of-day waves defined, and smooth flyaways, run a lightweight serum like L’Oreal Paris’s Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Lustrous Serum ($6; target.com) through your strands before tying them up into a pony.
