Gal pal showed me this little trick a while ago. Even though SG no longer has long locks, I still want to share this with everyone.
I used to just tie a ponytail with one elastic band but after an hour or so my do is not longer secure and pristine. The trick is to:1. Tie a half ponytail first with an elastic band
2. Then secure rest of the locks together with the half ponytail with a 2nd elastic band. With this little adjustment, SG has no issue with her ponytail for hours and my ponytail looks fuller. (That is before I cut everything off!)
Do you have a ponytail trick?
as someone who relies on pony tails nearly everyday, i try little tricks to help out.
ReplyDelete1. spray my hand with hair spray, then lightly go over the top of my head to calm fly aways.
2. wrap a piece of hair around the rubberband so it looks slic and polished (not lazy and dirty).
I wish I did... but I'm pretty lousy at it! :(
ReplyDeleteI sometimes do that, but I often use two hairbands and a ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of hairspray.
The tighter the better...pullback hard for instant face lift...whatever helps these days!
ReplyDeleteoooh, i need to try this. my ponytails are always falling. thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this, I'll have to try it myself.
ReplyDeleteI have A LOT of hair and this trick usually works for me. Another thing I do is grab a lock and wrap it around the elastics and then secure that with a small bobby pin...it looks more finished and classier, I think. rather than show a boring elastic, there's my hair wrapped around instead. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a good ponytail!
ReplyDeletewow. what a trick. i'm going to try that since i got long hair. cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tip! I always wondered how sassy gals ponies stayed for so long!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't but this is pretty clever. I'm trying that this week. :)
ReplyDeleteinteresting technique - my hair is too short for a decent ponytail, but once it finally grows out a little bit more - I'll defs be giving this a try!
