PONY-O Ponytail Holders: What is a PONY-O

WHAT IS A PONY-O?

PONY-O bendable hair ties

The PONY-O is a unique, patented BENDABLE ponytail holder that is revolutionizing the beauty industry worldwide, and changing the way women feel about wearing their hair up. Maybe you think we’re a little biased, but check it out.

Think about all the ponytail holders out there—elastic bands, scrunchies, telephone cord ties—they may look different, but they all work the same way! 😬

They stretch out, lose their shape, and require you to wrap and twist until they feel painfully tight. The result? Damage, discomfort, and a droopy ponytail in minutes. 😩 It’s time for an upgrade—PONY-O changes the game! 🚀✨

Here’s a crazy fact: the elastic hair tie was invented by Thomas Hancock in 1820. That’s over 200 years ago! Can you think of any other product we use today that was invented that far back? I can’t!

WHY IS PONY-O DIFFERENT?

First of all, the PONY-O BENDS, it doesn’t stretch! It is the only bendable ponytail holder on the market and will never lose its shape.

At the heart of PONY-O’s genius design is a soft yet solid copper core—strong enough to hold any amount of hair, yet flexible enough to bend and shape to your ponytail. Unlike traditional hair ties or knock-offs with thin elastic or flimsy aluminum, PONY-O’s wider design provides more surface area for a secure, all-day hold—no slipping, no damage!

The result? Thicker, fuller-looking hair and the perfect ponytail every time. Whether your hair is fine, thick, or curly, PONY-O is the ultimate styling tool for effortless volume and versatility! 💕💪

PONY-O's soft, hair-friendly silicone coating is not rubber—and that makes all the difference! Unlike traditional hair ties, it won’t absorb oils, hairspray, or dyes and is completely waterproof, sweatproof, and germ-proof. 💦🦠

In today’s world, easy sanitization is a must, and PONY-O cleans effortlessly with sanitizer—without damage. That’s why it’s a top choice for nurses, doctors, and first responders who need a secure, hygienic hold all day long! 👩‍⚕️🚑💙

LIKE PILLOWS FOR YOUR HAIR

The dots on the inside of the PONY-O aren’t just cosmetic, but serve a very important purpose. They’re like little pillows that hug your hair and grip it without damage or tension on the follicle.

The PONY-O is designed to last hundreds of uses. It’s not a throw-away product like elastics. You can use it over and over again. We could make it cheaper, but we believe in using high-quality and renewable materials, and that’s better for the planet and your wallet!

HOW DOES PONY-O WORK?

We mentioned that the PONY-O doesn’t stretch like every other hair tie on the market. It bends! So how exactly does it work?

Start with the PONY-O in its full circle shape. Insert your thumb and forefinger through the circle (think baby shark). Don’t use your whole hand! It’s awkward and just won’t work.

use your thumb and forefinger

Grab your hair with the thumb and forefinger, and pull it through the PONY-O. Next, flatten the PONY-O and let go of your ponytail (it seems weird, we know), holding the PONY-O with one hand on each side.

Slide your right thumb over to the left side and bend the end down. Repeat with on the right side. What you're doing is bending EACH side separately and that’s what gives you a secure hold. Don’t bend the PONY-O once in the middle…this shape will never ever hold your hair, and you’ll get mad at us.

Now check out that ponytail! Your hair looks much thicker and perkier than it would in an elastic hair tie or scrunchie. No more pencil-thin ponytails.

You might not think it’s secure because you don’t feel pulling and tension on your follicle. To test the hold, give your PONY-O a tug…it’s comfortable AND secure. For a tighter hold, bend the ends down a little more. But don’t do the rabbit-ear-pull to tighten it. This will loosen the PONY-O and it will fall out.

When you’re done for the day, the PONY-O comes out of your hair easily! Just open it back into the circle shape and slide it out. No hair comes with it! Who has extra hair to lose?

Plus, you’re not throwing money down the drain like you do every time you cut an elastic out of your hair. In fact, the PONY-O is so comfortable and secure, you can actually sleep in it. Read more here about why you should sleep with your hair up.

And finally, PONY-O DOESN’T LEAVE AN ANNOYING HAIR CREASE! Yayyy! To sum it all up, the PONY-O is comfortable, secure, non-damaging, crease-free, durable and more! No more broken hair, no more hair headaches.
