Nicki Minaj - Texture is what keeps the rapper's pony poppin'! To achieve this style, she smooths down the top of her mane and lets her pony run wild. Pump up your natural texture with a crimping iron and texturizing spray. (Photo: Nicki Minaj via Instagram)

Rihanna - Take a page from the ‘90s and let your baby hair take center stage like RiRi. All you need is some mega-hold gel and a fine-toothed comb (or a toothbrush). For some added texture, run a curling wand through your strands. (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Christian Dior)

Iggy Azalea - One part pompadour, one part cornrows; a pony like Iggy's is for the advanced. Here's how to do it: section off some hair at the crown, grab a can of hairspray and a comb and get to teasing. Once you've perfected your pouf, pin that back and grab a section of hair on each side of your head to braid, and pull the braids back into your ponytail. For a finished look, wrap the excess hair from your pompadour around the base of the ponytail to hide the hair band. (Photo: John Parra/Getty Images for Clear Channel)

Karrueche Tran - Another half-up, half-down style, but it's the sleek simplicity of the hairdo that keeps Kae's look flirty. Run a flat iron through your locks and use some smoothing cream to tame any frizz. (Photo: Fitzroy/Jen Lowery / Splash News)
