    Question Wrapping hair around ponytail holder?

    I like to cover my ponytail holder by wrapping some of my hair around it and securing it with a bobby pin. The only problem is that it usually unwinds within an hour. Does anybody know of a meathod that will keep the hair fom unwinding?

    You can get a tool that pulls the end of the hair back through the elastic. Like this:

    Topsy Tail.
    Change is the only constant.

    I agree. Just find something to pull the end through the hair tie and you have it secured!

    I use a topsy tail too, bobby pins make it feel a bit too lumpy to be comfortable. I found mine on eBay for less than &#163;2 with postage, and my flipped ponytails are very messy by hand, so it was definitely worth it.

    I do this, too. When I put the bobby pins in, I crisscross them and also make sure I get some of the elastic in there, too, so it's more secure. I have found using a slightly thicker section of hair holds better than a super skinny one. Hope this helps!

    I have a topsy tail, also, but I feel it gives a very different look than does the wrapped pony. I feel like the topsy tail look is softer and more romantic and the wrapped pony is more modern and professional. Just my two cents.

    There are some hair ties that are part synthetic hair and part elastic. Perhaps you could find one that matches your hair and use that. I saw it at Rite Aid, although I'm sure you could find it online.

    I just do the V trick, and it stays, because then the hair is pushed to the end of the pin and the pin lays under the hair tie

    How does it look different if you are just using it to pull the end of the wrap through the elastic? I am confused.

    RR, I think they're thinking of doing an actual Topsy-Tail (pulled through pony), but what you're talking about (if I'm understanding you) is just using the Topsy device like a needle to pull the end of the tress (the one that was used for wrapping) back through the elastic to join the rest of the ponytail. The end would then be held by the elastic along with the rest of the hair, and no bobby pin would be needed.
