Kim Wexler's Better Call Saul ponytail deserves accolades: "It's a total power pony"

Vulture

"As worn by Rhea Seehorn — and as demonstrated in this week’s episode, 'Breathe'— Wexler’s swept-up, boing-boing-curled work of hair art is more than just a ponytail," says Jen Chaney. "It’s a reflection of who Kim is and who she wants to be. It’s a weathervane that suggests which way the wind is blowing for her, or the way it may be blowing in the very near future. Oh, and on top of all that: That thing is just flawless. When Kim wears that ponytail in a courtroom or other work-oriented setting — and that’s usually where she wears it — it is a reflection of her strength and sense of order. No strand is out of place. The coil is curled perfectly, as if it were sculpted with plans to put this ponytail on display in a museum. It is a ponytail that could only spring from the scalp of a grown woman who is formidable and unflappable. It’s a total power pony."
