Did PONY-O Change Ponytails Forever?! Pony-o Review - Kayley Melissa

[@Elena-gv5wi]

I've tried this. I have soft, silky hair and the classic Pony-O slips off after a few minutes. For those saying that their hair is too thick or too thin for this, I don't think thickness matters. It's the texture of the hair that matters. I think courser hair texture will have more success with this.

[@jlammetje]

Jasmina Ah, not for me then. Almost everything slips right out of my hair :’)

[@mrspokitstheriot477]

I do think thickness matters a bit. I have super thick, coarse hair. I think my hair is just to heavy for the ponyo to hold securely.

[@ACWells13]

Ah- I have incredibly thick and heavy, but very silky smooth hair. I was dubious that this would hold, and it certainly sounds like it'll just sag and slide. Thank you Jasmina, this is super helpful!

[@ACWells13]

Watching this video as well, I have to have my ponytail elastic on 4 loops otherwise it just slides out!

[@Elena-gv5wi]

Thank you for the input! For reference on the amount of hair that I have, I need three loops for my ponytail to have a tight hold on it. When the Pony-O was in my hair it felt like it didn't have any grip to it. I can see that being an even bigger problem for people with thin, so I thought a heavier/coarse hair type might have better luck. But it appears that this product may just be a gimmick.

[@meganmartinez4267]

the real question, does it fit on your wrist...

[@VillyT]

Nope. Unless you have a thin wrist... And then it'll be a pain to put it on or take it off your wrist to wear it.

[@kristin123a]

@@VillyT Not sure if you really "got" the question.

[@VillyT]

@@kristin123a I "got" the question. Simply chose to give a serious answer instead of a joking one, because joking or not, it is a good question for all of us that have a tendency to slip hair ties on our wrists.

[@Kim_Bezoen_art]

I was thinking the same thing when I bought it. It just fits my waist but you have to wiggle it a bit. Would have liked it if they made it a tat bigger because I always wear my elastics on my wrists

[@graceofspades48]

I read this as waist at first! 😂

[@ericathefae]

I really appreciate how thorough you were in testing these (only suggestion would to have waited like a week so you were able to comment on how they wore for a full day and had time to really mull it over rather than sort-of sticking to first impressions) - but yes, I would very much like to see more reviews like these :) PS. I love these collabs with your sister - it's an awesome vibe (and really helpful to see a non-expert do the hairstyles too - she's so relatable)

[@Mmmeownie]

I have long, thick, slick hair myself and my favorite way to secure my hair while running or doing anything high intensity is using spin pins. I either do a bun with three spin pins and ensuring all three of them hit both the outside of the bun and catches in the "inside" hair as an anchor. If I also want to have an aesthetically pleasing hairdo while running (say during a paid race where you get photos taken), I do a french braid, tuck it all under, and then use 4 spin pins to hold in place. Nothing else except this seems to work as beautifully!

[@dwallens]

I love seeing videos with both long and short hair. Your hair looks amazing at that length, Kayley!

[@jessicacain7847]

You've never seen a ponytail so tragic? You haven't seen my 8-year-old daughter. She has Kayley Melissa pony cuteness in the AM, but the time she gets home, she looks like she's been through the playground fight club.

[@efjeK]

I usually work out in a French braid. It holds my hair securely without the uncomfortable tension. And I have done it so often now that I can get one in quite quickly.

[@winciedoffing1433]

I've had the pony-o for about 6 months and I really like it! It can hold my hair right without tension and I don't get headaches at the end of the day.

[@madehabee]

YESSS! I have the same breakage but all around the edge of my hair and I haven't been able to fix it :(

[@poppyt2682]

I had that a few years ago and olaplex helped it grow out. When it was really bad and straw like I used some watered down olaplex as a leave in treatment too.

[@sooyoungfanclub]

+Poppy T i swear by olaplex too!! but reminder that olaplex only works when it’s wet and once it dries it stops the process, so it’s best as a pre shower treatment rather than a leave in treatment

[@poppyt2682]

loonafanclub I know but I just mean that I can get on with my day leaving it to dry naturally and it gives it more time to work without me having to worry about washing it out. I didn’t explain very well.

[@kimmiemay95]

Im so glad your video does show that for long hair it doesn't hold. I have very fine long hair (and a lot of it), and bought this hoping it would help. Mine lasted about 1 minute before it fell out :( I thought id just put it in wrong. I will admit though, the bun bar you can buy through them has changed my life. My buns are amazing. Havent touched the pony o since though.

[@CountessVolcano]

Can we get a high intensity workout hair styling + tipps with Anna Lauras thick long hair please?

[@piyusarkar3065]

For me simple quick braid works the best

[@jslays11]

My hair is small to hers. A high pony with a braid and secured with a clear elastic works wonders for me. I usuallly need to bands to hold my hair in a pony but the braid holds it more still

[@BritneyMartinsMusic]

I get really bad headaches whenever I wear my hair up so I wonder if this would help since it creates less tension 🤔

[@Missadgreene]

That's what I was wondering. I cant achieve the high ponytail because of it.

[@ashpitash2360]

I have a Pony-O, and I think it's much more gentle on your hair than a traditional tie. It does take a little time to put it up, but it's pretty good once it's done. My hair now is probably 30" long, and I don't get headaches when I use it. It's also nice to have a perky ponytail for once, since the weight usually pulls them down!

[@RuthannBreitwisch]

Pony-o is the only hair holder that does not give me headaches.

[@priscillanieto3322]

I always do a low pontytail with my longer, denser hair and it ends up working well. Most ponytails either don't hold enough but are super comfortable or hold enough but have way too much tension which hurts my head. I find that the pony-o is the perfect middle ground :)

[@beatrixedwards2911]

Not big clips just some that fit under my pony. Glad to see this cause I've been going back and forth on whether to buy it or not.

Loved it. Please can you try the three barrel big hair crimpers things.

[@Charlie2411fly]

That ending was so cute!

[@iamashleymarie]

I love my pony-o. I also have to say that Anna-Laura didn’t tighten it properly for her full pony. It NEEDS a sharp bend at each side, not a “half circle” shape. It won’t grip the hair enough otherwise. And yes, you should bend with both hands. One holding the middle, the other bending the end to get enough of a sharp bend to hold all day without pulling

[@kendraklopfenstein5350]

Ashley Newell but the full sharp bends makes it straight across the front which makes it look weird which they complained about in the beginning

[@iamashleymarie]

kendraklopfenstein it can, it’s done that about 1 time for me and I just gave it a tiiiiiiiiiny pinch and it fixed it without making it all fall out and lose its 10/10 performance.
