Ponytails with PONY-O: Thick Hair Edition
Let’s kick this off with some #relatable truths only thick-haired gals will understand:
-
Half your shower is spent just washing your hair
-
Conditioner runs out way before the shampoo
-
You’re on a first-name basis with your clogged drain
-
Air-drying? It stays damp all day
-
Blow-drying? It’s basically arm day at the gym
-
Your brush looks like it wrestled a woolly mammoth
-
Haircuts = longer appointments (and bigger bills)
Sound familiar? Yeah, we thought so.
Now picture this: You’ve got glorious, thick hair—but not a single hair accessory can hold it. You’ve tried them all. Hair ties, elastics, scrunchies, claw clips… nothing lasts. You layer two or three just to make it work, but then your ponytail droops, your scalp aches, or worse—your hair tie snaps like a twig.
You love your hair, but styling it feels like a constant battle.
So what’s the solution?
Let’s talk about PONY-O—and how this one simple product could seriously change your (hair) life.
It Won’t Be Gone in a Snap
Comparing a PONY-O to a regular elastic is like comparing night and day—they’re just not the same. While traditional hair ties rely on tight wraps and tension (and often snap under pressure), PONY-O bends instead of stretches, shaping to your unique hair type and securely holding everything inside.
No more struggling to get that final loop over your ponytail. No more snapping elastics. No more stretched-out, useless hair ties. PONY-O won’t break, stretch out, or let you down—no matter how thick your hair is.
Pony up with PONY-O
Say goodbye to saggy, droopy ponytails. PONY-O holds your thick hair high and tight all day—no slipping, no redoing. Just shape each end close to your head, and you’re good to go!
Thick hair deserves painless ponytails
If you need three hair ties just to hold your hair up—something’s wrong. Tight elastics tug your scalp, cause breakage, and rip your hair when you take them out.
The Large PONY-O is made for thick hair. Its wider shape holds more hair without pain, pulling, or damage. And removal? Just bend it back into a circle—your hair slides right out. No yanking, no snapping, no drama.
Zero damage, zero creases, perfect for thick hair
If you’ve got thick hair, you’ve probably dealt with deep creases and painful breakage from tight elastics. PONY-O changes the game.
You only loop your hair through once—no back-and-forth, no tugging. The shape-holding design keeps your ponytail secure without the squeeze, so there’s no damage and no dents.
When you’re done, just open it into a circle and your hair slides right out. No more elastics coated in your hair. Just smooth, crease-free strands.
How-to PONY-O: Step-by-Step for a Perfect Ponytail
Here is step by step instructions for creating a basic ponytail with PONY-O:
Place only your index finger and thumb inside the PONY-O.
Pull your hair through the circle and hold it close to your head.
Let go of your ponytail and hold the PONY-O with both hands. Squash it completely flat.
Using your thumbs, bend each end down one at a time—like the ends of a rainbow. Do not bend it once in the middle! That won’t hold, especially with thick hair. Want a tighter grip? Just bend the ends down a little more.
Because PONY-O is so different from elastics, there’s a little learning curve—especially with thick hair. Don’t get discouraged if it takes a few tries!
Give your hair a break from painful elastics—give PONY-O a try. Order yours here. Questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you!
TIP: Never pull on your ponytail to tighten it. That actually loosens the PONY-O. For a firmer hold, reshape the ends instead.
