It’s safe to say that the Ladies really “cooooome out” for Jamaica Carnival 2018! I’ve watched the staging each year and although it seemed that Bacchanal Jamaica had lost its flame a couple years ago with scanty streets and basic costumes; the birth of new bands such as Xodus and Xaymaca has fueled the competition and boosted Jamaica Carnival to greater heights. Ooooohhh yesss! The bodies were perfectly sculpted as if they’ve been hitting the gym all their lives, the costumes were gorgeous as each band worked assiduously to win the hearts and loyalty of the revelers and most ladies opted for sleek variations of the pony tail to complete their final look! Check out these Ten Pony Tail Hairstyles that rocked the road this year!
