Thank you so much for the tutorial. I recently broke my wrist and had to have very complicated surgery so I am trying to learn how to be more independent and not rely on my husband for everything. I've made a lot of progress, but doing anything with my hair has been difficult. Really appreciate that you are helping the rest of us be more independent.

[@katiewilliams2080]

Same! I’m very glad to be able to put my hair up again after breaking my wrist because before I always had my hair up

I'm a dude with long hair that just has a broken shoulder. They repaired it in surgery with screws and pins but my left arm is completely immobilized for six weeks. I can't imagine the strength and patients it must take to live this way. Also, thanks for doing this video. I nailed this first try. I was tired of asking for help and everyone was tired of me asking. And that was just a few days. Living like this... I dunno how anyone could do it. It's impressive and admirable.

Thank you Megan! been feeling a bit sorry for myself as I've had an op on my hand and can't use it for some weeks. Your video did two things.....firstly I'm off to try a one handed pony tail but more importantly reminded me that people overcome huge challenges and manage to inspire others. You are an inspiration.

[@vancemowat7544]

I recently had shoulder surgery. I've hated this time with an immobile and useless arm. You almost brought me to tears. You're so beautiful and seem so positive and optimistic. We all have so much to be greatful for when we really take time to notice. ❤️

Thank you so much.... recent shoulder surgery... long hair... one of the only things that was REALLY bugging me.... especially w the high, tight pony. Appreciating you!

Here's a good reason why I'm happy the internet exists. I've never had to think about one handed hair tying before, but I am so certain there are countless people who can benefit from this info, but wouldn't know how to find/access it without the internet. Incredible, what you are doing with your channel.

[@noralucero]

Two days ago I broke my arm. I have long hair and my son tried putting it in a ponytail for me. Needless to say we had a good laugh. So glad I found you and your amazing video. Thank you so much. sending you much love and appreciation. You are an inspiration 😘

[@breanneockey]

I have a daughter who was born with one arm and I’ve been scouring the internet for a video that shows how to do a one-handed ponytail and this is the best one I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@jeniferbrown3536]

I just broke my dominant hand/wrist in two places where I am unable to use my hand at all. I really appreciate you sharing this aspect of your life. I have found the last few days very frustrating not being able to do things as before. Even though my circumstance is temporary, I am very thankful for your videos to be able to gain back a sense of my independence. I am a doer and having friends and family do things for me has not been easy. You truly are an inspiration!

When I tell you it’s been 4 years since I started lookin on KZbin for some one who was truly one armed that could help me with this I literally cried watching this because now o can practice this method... I lost the use of my arm 4 years ago due to being hit by a drunk driver while I was standing on the sidewalk I’m so grateful for this post

[@monicaheartsgypsy7877]

WOW! I have both my arms and I tried to put my hair up with one arm after watching you and that shit is hard! I gave up. I love watching you, I like positive people who remind me that my hurtles in life are only as bad as I let them be. That we can overcome anything.

I'm about to have surgery on a hand/wrist and will be casted for a spell. I have most things sorted out I think (I expect dish washing may be interesting.) Getting my hair up in a pony tail has been my "oh no!" moment. I expect to try all of these methods soon!! Thank you!!

I’ve been relying on my mum and my sisters to do my hair for all of my 22 years, I was born with mild cerebral palsy, it effects my right side and watching these types of videos just makes me believe that there may just be a way to be more independent and tie my own hair, so thank you xx

[@saaniyadeora2764]

[@jennamenke6248]

I just had wrist surgery and my dominant arm is currently unusable. Meanwhile we have record heat this weekend and all I want is my hair off my neck. My sister sent me this video. I appreciate the hair help. And also I’m just appreciative for what you are doing in general. Thanks for making the world a better place in your own unique way.

[@CrazyStar12900]

This is v appreciated I’m a double above elbow from birth n I just managed a slight messy but decent looking bun for the first time within 10 minutes using my foot in replacement of the hand to gather the hair. I’ve only ever seen tutorials by people with a partial limb usually below elbow and one hand together so is too complicated for my two partial arms and my feet to manage anything more than a tuggy knot in my hair that looks like I’ve been dragged through a bush backwards 😂💕Hopefully with practice I can manage putting it as a pony and not looking messy 💕 Thank you ☺️💞

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm 54 years old and was born physically disabled. I can't tell you how many times I have tried tying my hair on my own and each time unsuccessfully. Well, I finally did it thanks to your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@keeleybieber541]

I just recently cut a tendon on the top of my finger causing a crap ton of problems leading to surgery that is keeping me in a large cast for the next 2 or so months. I woke up this morning (yesterday was surgery) realizing I didn't know how I was going to put my very long, wavy, and wildly thick hair up in a pony out of my face. The things I take for granted everyday I now need to learn how to do differently. I've always had a high regard and respect for anyone who had/s to re/learn to do something as "simple" as hair or dressing..... but I have a completely different and slightly personal respect for anyone in this regard now. Thank you for being here to help my temporary condition. ❤ If we didn't have you and others in similarly permanent "situations" (I couldn't find a word that more accurately and respectfully articulated what I was trying to portray) people like me who take advantage of our abilities to do "the small stuff" wouldn't know how to overcome these barriers. You give back more than you think and more than some probably deserve. ❤

[@wandamotsko7263]

Wow thank you so much for sharing this. Way different situation but 2 years ago I had a frozen right shoulder. I was in excruciating pain and did PT 3 times a week for 6 months. Not being able to move my shoulder at all and not being able to brush my hair with my dominant hand let alone do a ponytail was so frustrating! Your technique makes it look so simple. Just found your channel! Thank you for sharing.

[@LaurenLillianHaggerty]

This tutorial is a god send! I currently still have my left hand but cannot use it due to a nerve tumor, it's unfixable so when they remove the tumor in the future, my hand will be the same as it is now, unusable but without the tumor. Trying to find tips on how to do stuff is hard but your videos are great! Thank you so much!

[@fallonmills4308]

Lawren Haggerty Oh wow. hope your operation goes well😊😊

[@LaurenLillianHaggerty]

I managed to tie it around twice with my left hand, but it's really loose. It's actually a little harder with my right hand (and I'm right handed). My hair is really long and kinda thick, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I have never taken the time to comment on a youtube video and I don't know if you still read these- but in 2015 I lost use of a lot of my left side after a whole bunch of childhood brain cancer and I am 21 now and have stood by that there is some way to do everything in this world one-handed except put up your hair accurately (mine is fluffy and curly so the suave pull through methods are way trickier) but I just found this video and gave myself my first high-pony by myself since I was 17---better than Christmas, thank you so much

Hi Megan, I recently had an accident which severed my nerves/tendons in my right (dominant) hand and has rendered it unable to do pretty much anything, although in some years time I will be able to use it again, I was having some trouble adapting to a new reality of only having use of one arm for a while, causing a deep depression. So I started youtubing how to do things with only one arm/hand I came across your channel, and might I say that your constant positivity is absolutely inspiring. I have learnt so much from you it's incredible and I'd just like to thank you for that. You are a very down to earth woman and it's so refreshing. Thank you for making the content you make. It has helped me beyond words

[@jenifercallaway4057]

I am an occupational therapist and really appreciate what you are doing. I help others learn how to do things one handed but have had a new reality after my recent rotator cuff surgery for a few things that are difficult that I hadn't considered before...;/. I love your one handed hair video. I will be referring people to your channel. Way to go lady!!!

Thank you so much! I recently cut a tendon in my dominant hand and a big part of successful healing is not using my right arm. I have always kept my hair up because it's extremely long. The last few weeks have been really hard trying to put my hair up and you just saved my life for the next 3 months or more. You honestly made me cry. You are an inspiration

You are a lifesaver! I subscribed because I dislocated my shoulder and for the first time in 60 years I have to do things with one hand! I'll be watching for more ingenious tips!

Fantastic! I'm dreading having upcoming rotator cuff surgery on my dominant arm (having long hair as well) and stumbled on your video. Now I'm ashamed of my petty concerns. You're an inspiration - AND you're absolutely gorgeous -with such a giving spirit.... SO appreciated!

Hi my name is Michelle. I’m so happy I found your video! I have a condition in my right shoulder called avascular necrosis which causes a great deal of pain if I lift my arm to high! I’ve always put my hair up but since the pain in my shoulder has gotten worse I haven’t really been able to. Now after watching your video I am so excited that I can go back to putting my hair up!!! Thank you so much and God bless you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I broke my right arm in a motorcycle accident two weeks ago and cannot tell you how wonderful it felt to put my own hair up today. I’ll be a forever subscriber ❤️

Omg this was SUPER SUPER helpful I broke my arm a week ago and haven’t had the use of my dominant hand and won’t for several months so this is been such a learning experience you are amazing keep up your awesomeness.

Really helped with my bun for my undercut, broke my arm and woke up with realization I need both hands to tie my hair up, watched your video and semi for it. Thanks for the help!

This is amazing, you have no idea how much this helps me. I’ve recently had one side of me paralysed and my hair is too important to me to cut it off so having this tutorial means I can feel like myself. You are amazing!

[@nunyaeffingbusiness5379]

i can't tell you how much you've helped me with this video! i broke my dominant arm and i have the longest "static-iest" hair that i NEED to be up and i couldn't figure out how to get the opposing pressure you need to get the elastic around more than once. THANK YOU!

I appreciate this so much I dislocated my elbow at work the other day and have nerve damage can’t really move very much and one of the biggest things being in California right now is that it’s hot and I was constantly upset about how I can’t put my own hair up into a ponytail and I’m not very comfortable with other people touching me and then I came across your video and it changed everything I just want you to know that that helps me get through my day now knowing that there are ways to do things and there are people out there to help whether there are in front of you or not I can’t imagine the struggles you go through but I see your strength. ☺️

Thanks, as I will need this tip in 2 weeks, after my shoulder surgery as my left arm will be in a sling for 4-6 weeks. Thanks for sharing this method & being so positive!

[@WhitneeSiann]

How amazing. I’ve broken my arm and have really been struggling. Not leaving the house as my hairs a mess when no one is around to help. This is fabulous. Thankyou so much for this video x
