PONY-O Ponytail Holders: How does the PONY-O work?

How PONY-O Bendable Hair Ties Work—and Why They're Game-Changers for Your Hair?

PONY-O isn’t just a new kind of hair tie—it’s a total reimagining of how you put your hair up.

Unlike traditional elastics, PONY-O bendable hair ties don’t stretch, snap, or pull. Instead, they mold comfortably to your hair using a unique bend-and-hold design. The result? A secure, damage-free ponytail that actually stays put—and looks amazing all day long.

So… How Exactly Does a PONY-O Work?

Let’s start with the design.

Each PONY-O is made with a soft, silky silicone coating on the outside and a malleable metal core on the inside. There’s no elastic at all—meaning no stretching, no snapping, and no tension on your hair.

Instead of wrapping over and over like a traditional hair tie, PONY-O bends and shapes around your ponytail, creating a custom fit that holds any hair type—fine, thick, curly, straight, long, or short.

 I’ll show you what I mean:

Pretty creative and unique, don’t you think?

If There’s No Elastic, How Do You Use a PONY-O?

Great question—we’re glad you asked! Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Using just your thumb and pointer finger (no need to stretch or pull), gently guide your hair through the PONY-O opening.

Step one. Use thumb and pointer finger to feed your hair through the PONY-O

Step 2: Let go of your ponytail (yes, it feels a little strange—we get it!) and hold the PONY-O close to your head using both hands.

Use both hands to flatten the PONY-O

Step 3: With the PONY-O still close to your head, use your thumb as a guide and bend one side down. Then bend the other side to match.
This step is everything—it’s what locks in the hold and gives your ponytail that signature PONY-O security.

Bend each end of the PONY-O down separately

Removing Your PONY-O is Just as Easy

When you're ready to take it out, simply reverse the steps—gently open the PONY-O back into its original circular shape.
No snags. No breakage. No hair wrapped around it.

Bonus: No creased hair bumps, either. 🙌

To get the best results (and the all-day hold we’re known for), be sure to follow the proper bend-and-shape method.
If you fold it just once in the middle? It probably won’t stay in—and we know how that ends: frustration and maybe a few choice words in our direction. 😅

So if you’re looking for a comfortable, secure, and non-damaging way to rock a ponytail, why not give PONY-O a try?

Your hair will thank you. 💁♀️✨
